“Here for a moment is a glimpse of my plan:All kids will be happy learning things.The wind will smell of wild flowers.Nobody will whack each other about with nasty things.All the room in the world.”

“Your hair smells like wind, did you know that?" Yep, me and Tucker, smelling each other.”

“But,...we should first learn the winds and the nature of the sky, the customary cultivation and the ways of the place. What each region bears and rejects. Here corn shoots up, and there grapes do. Elsewhere young trees grow strong and the wild grasses.”

“... the world can give you these glimpses as well as fairy tales can--the smell of rain, the dazzle of sun on white clapboard with the shadows of ferns and wash on the line, the wildness of a winter storm when in the house the flame of a candle doesn't even flicker.”

“As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves”

“Know that ever about you stands the reality of love, and each moment you have the power to transform your world by what you have learned.”
