“At first Mrs. Lapham tended to humor the ‘poor boy.’ As he preferred the birth and death room to the attic with Dove and Dusty, she had let him stay on. He had never in all his life slept in a bed alone—much less a whole room. He wanted to be alone. There was one trouble with his new quarters.”
― Esther Forbes, Johnny Tremain

“Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary.”
― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

“Young fantasies of magic and of mystery
Are over. But they really can't compete
With all we've built together: A long history.
Connections that help render us complete.
Ties that hold and heal us. And the sweet,
Sweet pleasures of an ordinary life.”
― Judith Viorst, Forever Fifty and Other Negotiations
