He was only a child, doing what adults led him to do; but somewhere in his heart he knew that even a child is a real person, that a child's acts are real acts, that even a child's play is not without moral context. Orson Scott Card
Isn't it possible, he wondered, for one person to love another without trying to own each other? Or is that buried so deep in our genes that we can never get it out? Territoriality. Orson Scott Card
You never really understand a person until you consider things fro his point of view ... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. Harper Lee
