Mrs. Ralls

“I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange.”
― David Arnold, Mosquitoland

“Home is hard. Harder than Reasons. It's more a storage unit for your life and its collections. It's more than an address, or even the house you grew up in. People say home is where the heart is, but I think maybe home is the heart. Not a place or a time, but an organ, pumping life into my life. There may be more mosquitos and stepmothers than I imagined, but it's still my heart. My home.”
― David Arnold, Mosquitoland

“Home is in your hands, Grace. Sometimes you have to make a place for yourself" -Mrs. Greene”
― Tracy Holczer, The Secret Hum of a Daisy

“Good-bye isn't the worst thing in the world. Sometimes it's simply time to go.”
― Cynthia Lord, Half a Chance
