“You can bind my body, tie my hands, govern my actions: you are the strongest, and society adds to your power; but with my will, sir, you can do nothing.”

“My smile is my way of saying: "You can destroy my body, but not my soul.”

“You can kill my body, but you can't kill my soul. My soul will live forever!”

“God can do anything. He has all power in the palm of His Hand. My Body, like all other bodies, is a temporary habitation; but, My Power is eternal, all-pervasive, ever-dominant.”

“You can drag my body to school but my spirit refuses to go.”

“There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain, my power, my pleasure, my pain”

“You were just a Small Bump unborn, in Four months you're brought to life.
You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your Mother's eyes.
I'll hold your body in my hands be as gentle as I can, but for now you're a scan of my unmade plans.
Small bump, four months you are brought to life.”

“I had to touch you with my hands, I had to taste you with my tongue; one can't love and do nothing.”

“I am a canvas of my experiences, my story is etched in lines and shading, and you can read it on my body. ”

“And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable… I simply am not there.”
