Quote by Olivia A. Cole

“Parents set themselves up for failure by giving their kids names that mean too much. Some people put so much weight in names, and how is a baby supposed to carry anything so heavy as their parents’ dreams?”

“She could hear, some way off, her brothers calling to each other in the woods behind the house. She hoped desperately that their game wouldn't bring them any closer, that they wouldn't scare the birds away. Somehow she knew that you didn't get many moments like this in your life: moments when you knew, without any doubt, that you were alive, when you felt the air in your lungs and the wet grass beneath your feet and the cotton on your skin; moments when you were completely in the present, when neither the past nor the future mattered. She tried to slow her breathing, hoping somehow to make this moment last forever.”

“How funny is it that we are constantly told to follow our dreams but are punished to a torturous degree if our dreams don't come true like the way we want them to. It takes a lot to bloom again after it. But being able to bloom again is what matters. The crux lies in the answer to the question that 'Do we really bloom again?' Perhaps yes, but perhaps never in the same way.”

“One woman said, 'I dreamed last night I was in a land where women were not the property of men. The men stayed at home and did all the hard work which women do; the cooking, the cleaning, the watching of children - men did all that. Women ruled the land in my dream, and they did not spend their time raiding other people's cattle or destroying their houses. They ruled gently, like women.' The other women looked at each other in astonishment. They had all had strange dreams, but none had dreamed of so wondrous a thing as that.”
