Bending over backwards does not bring you the love and attention you crave, but having your own life, your own goals and a backbone will.

We must never bend too much.

If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?

You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.

A lot of people say I'm bent, and I've heard it so many times that I've almost learned to accept it.

I'm trying to keep a level head. You have to be careful out in the world. It's so easy to get turned.

I want to be able, as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye.

If you do not raise your eyes you will think you are the highest point.

You really need to be on the edge and you have to keep your eyes open.
