Quote

So - here I am in the dark alone, There's nobody here to see I think to myself, I play to myself, And nobody knows what I say to myself Here I am in the dark alone, What is it going to be? I can think whatever I like to think, I can play whatever I like to play, I can laugh whatever I like to laugh, There's nobody here but me.

A. A. Milne
