Quotes by Christina Uss (?)

“blue lightning.”
― Christina Uss, The Adventures of a Girl Called Bicycle

“Bob decided on being Mostly Silent because he knew if he took vows of total silence he wouldn’t be able to call for help in an emergency or politely agree if someone said it was a nice day or ask for a sandwich, so he cut down his vocabulary to what he called the Sacred Eight Words: “yes,” “no,” “maybe,” “help,” “now,” “later,” “sleep,” and “sandwich.”
