“I have not had so good of a week. Well, monday was a pretty good day, if you don't count Hamburger Surprise at lunch and Margaret's mother coming to get her. Or the stuff that happened in the principal's office when I got sent there to explain that Margaret's hair was not my fault and besides she looks okay without it, but I couldn't because Principal Rice was gone, trying to calm down Margaret's mother. Someone should tell you not to answer the phone in the principal's office, if that's a rule. Okay, fine, Monday was not so good of a day.”
― Sara Pennypacker, Clementine

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

“Thanks, Clementine. See what I mean? Sometimes you have to figure out the problem before you can figure out the solution.”
