“You get old and you realize there are no answers, just stories.”
“The older you get, the more questions you get asked, and the more weary you become of answering the questions and the more elusive the answers--any answer, every answer--seem. --Maureen O'Toople in the short story "Your Question for Author Here”
“Just go on reading, as well as you can, and be sure that when the children get the thrill of the story, for which you wait, they will be asking more questions, and pertinent ones, than you are able to answer.”
“Your past is just a story. And once you realize this it has no power over you.”
“It still might be a shock. To realize you are just one story walking among millions.”
“You can get what you want or you can just get old.”
