Remember: that giants sleep too soundly; that witches are often betrayed by their appetites; dragons have one soft spot, somewhere, always; hearts can be well-hidden, and you can betray them with your tongue. (from "Instructions")
I didn't want my opponent to know there was anything wrong with me.
I couldn't bear it if anyone knew I had hardly any self-confidence at all.
Our strength is often composed of the weakness that we're damned if we're going to show.
We fall privately before we ever fall publicly.
The people who you think are the most solid are often the most hurt.
Underneath that facade, I'm a terrified little sissy, just like everybody else. But I never let it show.
