“I do not know. In all this”—he gestured around them—“what is the meaning of okay?”
“Children betrayed their parents by becoming their own people.”

“Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.”

“I think you should learn, of course, and some days you must learn a great deal. But you should also have days when you allow what is already in you to swell up inside of you until it touches everything. And you can feel it inside of you. If you never take time out to let that happen, then you accumulate facts, and they begin to rattle around inside of you. You can make noise with them, but never really feel anything with them. It's hollow.”
― From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

“Ursula craved solitude but she hated loneliness, a conundrum that she couldn’t even begin to solve.”
