Betty  Smith
“You won't die, Francie. You were born to lick this rotten life.”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Betty  Smith
“And that's where the whole trouble is. We're too much alike to understand each other because we don't even understand our own selves.”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Camron Wright
“Words provide a voice to our deepest feelings. I tell you, words have started and stopped wars. Words have built and lost fortunes. Words have saved and taken lives. Words have won and lost great kingdoms. Even Buddha said, 'Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care, for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.”
Camron Wright, The Rent Collector

Betty  Smith
“From that moment on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again. ”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Betty  Smith
“Mother, I am young. Mother, I am just eighteen. I am strong. I will work hard, Mother. But I do not want this child to grow up just to work hard. What must I do, mother, what must I do to make a different world for her? How do I start?"

"The secret lies in the reading and the writing. You are able to read. Every day you must read one page from some good book to your child. Every day this must be until the child learns to read. Then she must read every day, I know this is the secret”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
