Memorable Quotes from Zoe Graham
1 quoteThe Impact of Fear on Personal Aspirations
Mason
I just feel like there are so many things that I could be doing and probably want to be doing that I'm just not.
Sheena
Why aren't you?
Mason
I mean, I guess it's... just being afraid of what people would think. You know, judgement.
Sheena
Yeah. I guess it's really easy to say, like "I don't care what anyone else thinks." But everyone does, you know?
Mason
Exactly.
Sheena
Deep down.
Mason
I find myself so furious at all these people that I am in contact with just for... controlling me or whatever, but you know, they are not even aware they are doing it.
Sheena
Yeah. So, in this perfect world, where no one's controlling you—what's different? What changes?
[beat]
Mason
Everything. I mean, I just wanna be able to do anything I want, because it makes me feel alive. As opposed to giving me the appearance of normality.
Sheena
Whatever that means.
Mason
I don't think it means much.
Sheena
You're kinda weird, you know that?
Mason
Yeah? Is that a compliment?
Sheena
I don't know. Do you wanna be weird?
Mason
I mean, I don't wanna like scare kids at the park, or anything like that. I really like talking with you. I don't usually even try to like vocalize my thoughts, or feelings or anything. Just— I don't know, it never sounds right. Words are stupid.
[pause]
Sheena
So why are you trying with me?
Mason
I don't know. I guess I feel comfortable.
Sheena
I'm glad.
