      “Now,” he said, “talk.  Talk about the things you really want said.  Don’t tell me about your family, your childhood, your friends or your feelings.  Tell me about the things you think.”

      “How did you know what’s been killing me?  Slowly, for years, driving me to hate people when I don’t want to hate. . . . Have you felt it, too?  Have you seen how your best friends love everything about you—except the things that count?  And your most important is nothing to them, nothing, not even a sound they can recognize.  You mean, you want to hear?  You want to know what I do and why I do it, you want to know what I think?  It’s not boring to you?  It’s important?”
