Quotes by Carter Sickels (?)

“We live our lives not realizing which moments are special or which are ordinary—what will we remember, what memories will we try to grab onto, to hold close? All of these moments that make up a life.”
― Carter Sickels, The Prettiest Star

“This night, we thought then, was just one of many. This is what life was, and this is what our lives were supposed to be. I didn’t do anything to cause this—none of us did. We were just living. We were young and happy and alive, and nothing could stop us.”
― Carter Sickels, The Prettiest Star

“You’re outside playing, and you hear her voice through the treetops and the green grass and the dandelions and clover. Your mother calling you home.”

Hi Carter,
I've missed your class. I'll be back with more of my novel worked out. I look forward to reading your book. I'm new to this. My son said I should get on it, I guess he marketed a book by a lady in Carmel this way and said I would be connected with like people Have a great day and I really enjoy your insights
