“She believed that friendships, to begin well, had to stand on mutual information and lots of it.”
Ruth Sawyer, Roller Skates

“Children interested Miss Peters, especially when she found one that had not been run into a mold or cut out of a given piece of cloth and made up like a flannel rabbit.”
Ruth Sawyer, Roller Skates

“It wasn’t just catching mackerel that made those dawns red-letter days for us. It was like watching the world being created anew to watch the sun come up -the orange streak changing to flames -orange, yellow, crimson; to watch the whole bay catch the glory of it – to watch the western sky take fire. People who don’t ever watch sunrises miss a lot of wonder.”
Ruth Sawyer, Daddles: The Story of a Plain Hound-dog
