A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do.

Audrey Hepburn
When the chips are down, you are alone, and loneliness can be terrifying. Fortunately, I've always had a chum I could call. And I love to be alone. It doesn't bother me one bit. I’m my own company.
Audrey Hepburn
