If you've never read a Gary D. Schmidt novel, you're in for a real treat. Start with The Wednesday Wars, then read Okay For Now. Both are some of the best YA books I've ever read. Orbiting Jupiter is nearly as good. " |

This is not to say that joy must come with pain, but instead, that pain could arrive in the midst of joy and this fact scares us senseless. We would rather half live than risk encountering unspeakable pain at the core of indescribable delight.
We erroneously believe that being a perpetual emotional flatline is better than experiencing the highs and the lows of living.”

“Life is meant to be lived as you...not a copy, not what someone or life has made you.
The world needs you in your purest form. For heaven's sake, you need you in your purest form.”

“Going inward. That’s the real work. The solutions are not outside of us. Get to know who you really are, because as you search for the hero within, you inevitably become one.”

“What really frightens and dismays us is not external events themselves, but the way in which we think about them. It is not things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance.”
