“We are in a tight corner, now, I agree. But we have been in tight corners before and come out of them. You have to be brave a little longer.”

“We are described into corners, and then we must describe ourselves out of corners.”

“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

“Can you keep a secret?”
“Me and Tupperware, baby. We seal tight. Ain’t nothing going to get out.”

If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

“You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye,
And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like.
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time,

And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt.
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style”
