Quotes by Aimee Pokwatka (?)

“I don’t know,” Pepper said. “I don’t know what to do.”
Jagoda stood, and Pepper stood along with her. “Things that feel impossible now,” she said, “when you do those things, later, you do not regret them.”
You only regret not doing them, Pepper thought.”
― Aimee Pokwatka, Self-Portrait with Nothing

“Eventually, the world requires your participation. The observation is just training.”
― Aimee Pokwatka, Self-Portrait with Nothing

“And it takes courage, especially, to allow others to help you, to carry you when you need to be carried. That is something it takes many people a long time to learn. Some never learn it.”
― Aimee Pokwatka, The Parliament
