“Sometimes we just have to accept there are things we can’t know. Why is your sister ill? Why did my father die?…Sometimes we think we should be able to know everything. But we can’t. we have to allow ourselves to see what there is to see, and we have to imagine.” ThinkingKnowsShouldSometimesAbleDiesFatherAcceptingImagineIll Author:David Almond
“I thought how you can never tell just by looking at them what they were thinking or what was happening In their lives. Even when you got daft people or drunk people on buses, people that went on stupid and shouted rubbish or tried to tell you all about themselves, you could never really tell about them either... I knew if somebody looked at me, they'd know nothing about me, either.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsStupidHappeningsDrunkBusRubbishDaftDrunk People Book:Skellig Source: Skellig
“I don't want to be little again. But at the same time I do. I want to be me like I was then, and me as I am now, and me like I'll be in the future. I want to be me and nothing but me. I want to be crazy as the moon, wild as the wind and still as the earth. I want to be every single thing it's possible to be. I'm growing and I don't know how to grow. I'm living but I haven't started living yet.” KnowsWantLittlesStillsEarthGrowsHealingKnow HowGrowingCrazyHavensWindMoonTeensBeing Crazy Author:David Almond
