Laird Koenig Quotes

One Sunday Evening When It Was Very Hot And Breathlessly Still We Sere Sitting Here In This Room In The Dusk. He Switched On The Record Player. Liszt. We Sat. As I Say, Here. In This Very Room. We Listened To The Piece. Neither Of Us Said A Word. That's When He Took My Hand And We Went Out Into The Garden. In A Quiet Voice He Said That I Wasn't Like Any Other Person In The World And That Some People Wouldn't Understand That. They Wouldn't Want Me To Be The Way I Was. They'd Want To Change Me. They'd Try To Order Me About And Make Me Into The Kind Of Person They Wanted Me To Be. Since I Was Still A Child There Would Be Little I Could Do Except Stay Alone, Stay Out Of Trouble, And Make Myself Very Small In The World.
