“i am too afraid
of people who have souls like hometowns
warm, forgiving and too kind
that even if you leave; even when you leave
will always welcome you home
remember you with your family name
i am too afraid
of something too homely
when every breath coming out of my body
is shaped like leaving”
― Noor Unnahar, Yesterday I Was the Moon

“There are people you’ve known a long time and you know you’re never really going to like. And there are people that you meet and grow to like. Then there are people you meet and you like instantly.”
― Ann M. Martin, Claudia and the Sad Good-bye

“Lenni, wherever you are. Whatever wonderful world you find yourself in now. Wherever that fiery heart is, that quick wit, that disabling charm. Know that I love you. For the brief lifetime that we knew each other, I loved you like you were my very own daughter. You found an old woman worthy of your immense friendship and for that I am forever in your debt. So I have to say thank you.”
― Marianne Cronin, The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

“And I will be forever changed by the people I have met and their bravery, their courage and their light.”
― Marianne Cronin, The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot
