“I learned to carry the secrets of my badness silently and alone.”
― Ashley C. Ford, Somebody's Daughter

“I knew I couldn’t have the sunrise or its colors for my own. Some things were too precious not to be shared. They just had to happen, and you just had to make sure you were there when they did, and then, you were part of something with everyone else who showed up at the right time.”
― Ashley C. Ford, Somebody's Daughter

“Kids can always tell the difference between adults who want to empower them, and adults who want to overpower them.”
― Ashley C. Ford, Somebody's Daughter

“When I was four years old, I taught myself to lie awake until morning. I wanted the sunrise, and I only had to stay awake to have her. When children are small, our desires seem small, even if we want the sky. Anything we want seems to be only a matter of time and effort away. It’s too early to imagine what’s already holding you back.”
