How ridiculous I was as a Marionette! And how happy I am, now that I have become a real boy!

A boy's appetite grows very fast, and in a few moments the queer, empty feeling had become hunger, and the hunger grew bigger and bigger, until soon he was as ravenous as a bear.

When poverty shows itself, even mischievous boys understand what it means.

When I was a boy, I wanted to be a Ninja. Now I am a man, now I am a Ninja.

I am happy in Paris.

I am happy being what I am.
