You think, she's out of her head. Yeah, I'm out of my head- on being me. What are you on? On being them. You don't even know. I bet you were never given a chance to know. …Listen. You can be anything you want to be. Be careful. It's a spell. It's magic. Listen to the words… You are anything...everyone, anyone. ...You listen to them, teachers, parents, politicians. They're always saying, if you steal you're a thief, if you sleep aroung you're a slut, if you take drugs you're a junkie. They want to get inside your head and control you with their fear. ...Don't play their game. Nothing can touch you; you stay beautiful.” ― Melvin Burgess, Smack “Try it. You don't have to do it ever again if you don't want to. But try it once. Try everything once.” ― Melvin Burgess “The only thing that isn't free is you. You do as you're told. You sit in your seat until they say 'Stand'. You stay put til they say 'Go'. Maybe that's the way you like it. It's easy. It's all there. You don't have to think about. You don't even have to feel it.” ― Melvin Burgess, Smac “That's her secret, I suppose. Everything that happens to her she's proud of. She makes it special by it happening to her.” “She didn't have to be offered anything; it was already hers. She was more herself than anyone else ever was and as soon as I clapped eyes on her I knew I wanted to be myself just as much as she was herself.” “I've done everything. All of it. You think it, I've done it. All the things yo never dared, all the things you dream about, all the things you were curious about and then forgot because you knew you never would. I did'em, I did em yesterday while you were still in bed. What about you? When's it gonna be your turn?” ― Melvin Burgess, Smack”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Melvin Burgess" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/melvin-burgess/sometimes-maybe-you-need-an-experience-the-experience-can-be-a-person-2/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a78/melvin-burgess-16258_given-a-chance_sometimes-maybe-you-need-an-experience-t_285973.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a78/melvin-burgess-16258_given-a-chance_sometimes-maybe-you-need-an-experience-t_285973.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a78/melvin-burgess-16258_given-a-chance_sometimes-maybe-you-need-an-experience-t_285973.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Sometimes maybe you need an experience.
