Stacey Lynn edited the memorable quotes of I Am David Wednesday, July 27, 2011.

• Added a quotation: “Johannes had taught him always to remember to say thank you. He had meant to people, of course, and he had been very strict about it. He had insisted upon David’s saying thank you even to them – when they gave him food, for example. David had not wanted to… not to them. But Johannes had said, “Politeness is something you owe other people, because when you show a little courtesy, everything becomes easier and better. But first and foremost, it’s something that you owe yourself. You are David. And if you never allow other people to influence what you’re really like, then you’ve something no one can take from you – not even they. Never mind what others are like – you must still be David.”
• Added a quotation: “I want to tell you quite freely that I have never murdered anyone and never used force. And I’ve never stolen from anybody; I’ve taken no one’s joy or happiness or freedom or property away from him. And I’ve never betrayed anyone; nothing dreadful has ever happened, because I have never been a traitor. I am telling you this because you want to know something about me and to let you know that that’s all I am going to tell. If the police catch me, I shall die, but I shall tell them nothing more than that. It is important not to give in to people who love violence and think they have the right to take away another person’s life and liberty. And if you don’t let them change what you think and believe, then you have won. A man once told me that. And that’s why I’m going to stay as I am, always, as long as I live.”David
• Added a quotation: “I’m glad I told Maria that wickedness exists. I don’t want her to be afraid, but it’s something you have to know about. Can’t you understand that children have a right to know everything that’s true? If there’s danger, you have to recognize it, or else you can’t take care of yourself. I mean other children, those that aren’t wrong and have somewhere to belong to.”David
