"I have enjoyed this book very much so far, as in that it is an enjoyable read, but less for the plot and more for a COUPLE of the characters.
I just read chapter 9, and its ending was so unrealistic that it made me blush. GSP really likes to preach at her readers and it's kind of annoying, but Mickey makes up for it."

Gene Stratton-Porter
“Ance a man-child has beaten his way to life under the heart of a woman, she is mither to all men, for the hearts of mithers are everywhere the same.”
Gene Stratton-Porter, Freckles

Katherine Paterson
“He put down his roll and reached over and took her gnarled hand, stroking the back of it with his thumb. "I'm trying to tell the child something only you and I can understand. How good it is to be old."
I watched her face go from being startled by his gesture to being pleased that he had somehow joined her side against me. Then she seemed to remember. She drew back her hand.
"We'll die," she said.
"Yes," he said. "But we'll be ready. The young ones never are.”
Katherine Paterson, Jacob Have I Loved

John Taylor Gatto
“I feel ashamed that so many of us cannot imagine a better way to do things than locking children up all day in cells instead of letting them grow up knowing their families, mingling with the world, assuming real obligations, striving to be independent and self-reliant and free.”
John Taylor Gatto

Gene Stratton-Porter
“Mother Duncan, do kisses wash off?............"Lord, na! Freckles," she cried. "At least, the anes ye get from people ye love dinna. They dinna stay on the outside. They strike in until they find the centre of your heart and make their stopping-place there, and naething can take them from ye-I doubt if even death-Na, lad, ye can be reet sure kisses dinna wash off!”
Gene Stratton-Porter, Freckles

Katherine Paterson
“I was quite sure I was crazy, and it was amazing that as soon as I admitted it, I became quite calm. There was nothing I could do about it. I seemed relatively harmless. After”
Katherine Paterson, Jacob Have I Loved: A Newbery Medal Winner—A Compelling Young Adult Classic about Individuality, Dreams, and Overcoming Family Expectations—An Engaging Summer Read for Young Adults
