I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. Maybe that is what makes people participate.
Stephen Chbosky
Charlie, you’re one of the most gifted people I’ve ever known. And I don’t mean in terms of my other students. I mean in terms of anyone I’ve ever met.
