“No one else was interested in the ceiling, but I sat on my own and often looked up as somewhere to divert my attention, so I didn’t stare at the rest of the class.”

“September is a month that has a special anticipation associated with it. As the leaves turn and the nights darken. The first time you open a book, cracking the spine and smoothing down the pages so they can’t spring back up. It’s a month that means fresh beginnings, and that only happens a few times in life, when the slate is wiped clean and the story is ready for you to begin and tell it how you wish.”
