About This Quote

When you are a child, everything is new. You’re not afraid of the dark, you don’t know that there is a monster under your bed, and you can’t imagine that there could be something under your bed. But one day, you are sitting in your room after having finished reading your favorite book. Suddenly, the door creaks open and the monster appears.

As scary as it may seem, you are not scared at all because you know there is nothing to fear. You are so sure about it that you don’t even turn around to see what was behind you. The story ends there for you because the story has planted a seed in your soul and never left me.
