"We are all Pinocchio's: We begin our life, waiving to our mother and father with our school books in hand, hoping to do well. But we are turned this way and that. We make mistakes, we move from our course, we falter, flounder, and may suffer remorse, rebellion or a sense of defeat. We seem to loose our way. But if we keep our little flame alive, our first feeling of enthusiasm of who we are, without the influence or intervention of others, we will prevail. And like Pinocchio, despite all his transgressions, find the courage to re-unite with our little flame and be rewarded. And the reward is this: we finally become ourselves."
Patti Smith
