“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

“Then what shall I write? I can't just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I'll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line? Words should wander and meander. They should fly like owls and flicker like bats and slip like cats. They should murmur and scream and dance and sing.” ShouldWritingMindDoeI CanBookGrowsLinesHappenedTreeCatBoringTalesWanderBeastDullScreamSlipsBatsJournalStraight LinesOwlFlicker Book:My Name is Mina Source: My Name is Mina
