If you discover that
somebody really loves you, listens to you, then you begin to change.
You come out from behind the barriers of fear that you have erected
around your heart.
I have been intensely and imaginatively happy in the quietest places. I have been filled with life from within in a cold waiting room in a deserted railway junction. I have been completely alive sitting on an iron seat under an ugly lamppost at a third-rate watering place. In short, I have experienced the mere excitement of existence in places that would commonly be called as dull as ditch-water. -G. K. Chesterton
