I inherited my independence from my parents.

When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.

Who knows not sacrifice may never gain freedom.

Premature independence is the daughter of conceit.

The Phoenix rises in the absence or need of witness.

Now do you understand? I am never changing who I am.

I worry that independence will never feel safe again.

Buffy Summers: (to Spike) "I could NEVER be your girl!

In yourself right now is all the place you've got.

To know your soul is your own, that's what counts.

If the light's not in you, you're in the dark.

I burned by bridges so the devil couldn't follow me.

Independence is earned by a few words of cheap confidence

I find having your own car is like a passport to the world.

What a tremendous power one needs to become his own master!
