Tahereh Mafi said this quote
“ You think that because I am unwanted, because I am neglected and-and discarded- My voice inches higher with every word, the unrestrained emotions suddenly screaming through my lungs. You think I don't have a heart? You think I don't feel? You think that because I can inflict pain, that I should? You're just like everyone else. You think I'm a monster just like everyone else. You don't understand me at all. ”
