When we grow up, concepts gradually get easier and we leave the images to the poets…
WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE IS STRONGER THAN THE LOVE OF POWER, THE WORLD WILL KNOW PEACE.[JIMI HENDRIX]
When someone says they’re going to be honest with you, they are in most cases preparing to lie faster than a horse can trot.
When all else fails, give up and go to the library.
Whatever CAN go wrong WILL go wrong.
What you did for yourself was what gave you the power.
What can be done when you’re eleven can often never be done again.
We lie best when we lie to ourselves.
We all float down here.[repeated often in the rest of the book]
Want to know the best thing about teaching? Seeing that moment when a kid discovers his or her gift. There’s no feeling on earth like it.
Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
True love would never die.
