Natalie Wood Quotes

It's terrible to have to depend on someone else.

I feel extremely vulnerable.

If you let other people do it for you, they will do it to you.

Adults under threat feel like children.

In the 66 years that I have been alive, there has not been one hour, of one day, of one month, of one year, when there has not been a threat aimed at us.

Fear is a relative thing; its effects are relative to power.
