Quote by Wendy McGrath

“She stared at her mother's hat resting so quiet and rich on top of her parent's closet. It had a soft brown velvet brim ad white feathers were peeking out brown with dots and that hat was amazing because it stayed so solid and fixed to the shelf and yet the girl thought the feathers made it seem as if it could just fly away when she wasn't looking and if it really wanted to. Anyway, maybe the hat had thoughts of its own or could absorb all the thoughts and made-up stories of the person who wore the hat and keep them under the velvet brim and hide them in between the soft feathers as if they were eggs and keep them warm until they escaped.”

“To be beautiful all you have to do is…Be yourself. Like yourself. But most importantly be kind to yourself and others. Stir your heart with your dreams. Celebrate your life. Laugh, cry, pretend you can fly. Make friends with yourself. Believe in your magic. Honor your body and your life. Wish upon a star. Say ‘I love you’ often, & smile regularly.”

“Everything, it seemed-the city, the sky-was brighter and more vivid than before. So modern, compared with the time capsule downstairs. As he left the hotel, Henry looked west to where the sun was setting, burnt sienna flooding the horizon. It reminded him that time was short, but the beautiful endings could still be found at the end of cold, dreary days.”
