"Perfection is attained by slow degrees; it requires the hand of time."

"Today and now I hate this words they sound horrible, sound powerful and you just get more older and more older. I just said them when I was 9, now I'm 16 soon I will be 17.

"There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time."
