Day 3 - Being Normal:

 "Everybody is normal until you know them better" - John Ortberg

Day 4 - Inner Theatre:

"Those who have immobilized and muted many of the plots and players in their internal theater, allowing them no action but to hammer on the walls of the mind, might learn to value the words of Sartre (1965, p. 37): "If you want your characters to live, then liberate them!" - Joyce McDougall
