Context: "I feel too much. That's what's going on." "Do you think one can feel too much? Or just feel the wrong ways? "My insides don't match up with my outsides." "Do anyone's inside and outsides match up?" "I don't know. I'm only me." "Maybe that's what a person's personality is: the difference between the inside and the outside." "But it's worse for me." "I wonder if everyone thinks it's worse for him." "Probably. But it really is worse for me."

“I’d like to see every young person in the world join the "Just Say No" to drugs club.”
Nancy Reagan (1921–2016) actress and first lady of the United States
On the "Just Say No to Drugs Week" (1986), as quoted in "JUST SAY NO" at The Ronald Reagan Foundation http://www.reaganfoundation.org/details_f.aspx?p=RR1008NRHC&tx=6 <br class="br">Context: Someone asked me if I wanted to make a New Year’s wish, and I said yes — and it was that I’d like to see every young person in the world join the "Just Say No" to drugs club. Well, just the fact that Congress has proclaimed "Just Say No Week" and in light of all the activities taking place, it seems that my wish is well on its way to coming true.
