Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
"The world is full of stories, but the ones that stay with us are those that speak to our deepest fears and desires."
I don't feel like I have to please anyone but myself.
