"I wish I could highlight every word of this book. I feel so seen. I love the intense detail of everything selin notices. I adore her inner dialogue that questions why teachers think the wrong things are important when in reality what as humans we think and feel is what really matters. Her constant reflection and observation of people ugh I could indulge in it forever" — Oct 30, 2026 07:30AM

“That is what is called learning the truth. It is a good thing to learn the truth one’s self. To first believe with all your heart, and then not to believe, is good too. It fattens the emotions and makes them to stretch. When as a woman life and people disappoint her, she will have had practice in disappointment and it will not come so hard. In teaching your child, do not forget that suffering is good too. It makes a person rich in character.”

“the child must have a valuable thing which is called imagination. The child must have a secret world in which live things that never were. It is necessary that she believe. She must start out by believing in things not of this world. Then when the world becomes too ugly for living in, the child can reach back and live in her imagination.”
