I’m afraid that some times you’ll play lonely games too. Games you can’t win ’cause you’ll play against you.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
A person’s a person, no matter how small.[repeated often in the rest of the book]
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You ARE YOU! And, now isn’t that pleasant!
Try them! Try them! And you may. Try them and you may, I say.
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
There’s no end to the things you might know, depending how Zebra you go!
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
Open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!
