“I always had hopes of being a big star...and as you get older you aim a little lower, and I say you still might make an impression. Everybody wants to leave something behind them, some mark upon the world.

Then you think you left a mark on the world if you just get through it ....and a few people remember your name. Then you left a mark. You don’t have to bend the whole world.
I think it is better to just enjoy it. Pay your dues and enjoy it.
If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you.”

“From that time on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again, never miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became her friends and there was one for every mood. There was poetry for quiet companionship. There was adventure when she tired of quiet hours. There would be love stories when she came into adolescence and when she wanted to feel a closeness to someone she could read a biography. On that day when she first knew she could read, she made a vow to read one book a day as long as she lived.”
― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
