“Upon leaving the dining room an hour later, she lingered on the porch for a few minutes, watching couples dance. As a red-haired young man began to walk toward Nancy with an invitation in his eyes for her to dance, she hastily went to her room.”
Carolyn Keene, The Bungalow Mystery

Dean Mafako
“One of the greatest realizations that I clumsily stumbled upon during this process, was that these people didn’t need someone like me to tell them what to do; they needed someone like me to show them what can be done, together.”
DEAN MAFAKO, M.D., Burned Out

Anne Frank
“I found that it was easier to think up questions than to ask them.”
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Maurice Sendak
“Messages are the death of an honest literary transaction with children”
Maurice Sendak in William Zinsser's book of essays

“Imagine your worst day, multiply it by a hundred, and pray to your God
that you never experience what some of the people in this war zone go
through, everyday, without any hope of it getting better. Ever. Compared
to these people, every day, no matter how bad, is the best day ever. I
know nothing about pain, nothing about suffering and hopefully never will.”
Hendri Coetzee, Living the Best Day Ever
