You Seemed So Far Away," Miss Honey

All Through My School Life I Was Appalled By The Fact That Masters And Senior Boys Were Allowed Quite Literally To Wound Other Boys, And Sometimes Very Severely.

I Am Only 8 Years Old, I Told Myself. No Little Boy Of 8 Has Ever Murdered Anyone. It's Not Possible.

Some People When They Have Taken Too Much And Have Been Driven Beyond The Point Of Endurance, Simply Crumble And Give Up. There Are Others, Though They Are Not Many, Who Will For Some Reason Always Be Unconquerable. You Meet Them In Time Of War And Also In Time Of Peace. They Have An Indomitable Spirit And Nothing, Neither Pain Nor Torture Nor Threat Of Death, Will Cause Them To Give Up.

There Is No Place I Know That Compares To Pure Imagination.

There Is No Life I Know To Compare With Pure Imagination. Living There, You'll Be Free If You Truly Wish To Be.
