Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, what? i am boy?

Thanks

I've always loved this quote:

"Women are meant to be loved, not understood."-Oscar Wilde

But Ayn Rand's quote- "The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me." has stuck with me since i was little.
Fairytales are more than true: not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten. -Neil Gaiman

Here is one of my favorite quotes from The book Thief by Markus Zusak:

Somewhere, far down, there was an itch in his
heart, but he made it a point not to scratch it. He was afraid of
what might come leaking out....

One of my all-time favourites:

'I am no prophet-and here's no great matter;
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was afraid' T.S. Eliot
