When I saw corruption, I was forced to find truth on my own. I couldn't swallow the hypocrisy.

I longed for literary celebrity even as I saw with my own eyes how little happiness it brought.

I'm starting to find my own style.

I needed to be myself and find my own identity.

Anger tears me up inside... My own... or anyone else's.

It is only in solitude that I ever find my own core.
