Quote by Marcia Thornton Jones

“What are you going to do?” Cindy asked as we walked home. “You can’t keep missing recess. We need you on our soccer team.” “I can’t keep missing homework,” I added. “I’ll have all F’s on my report card.” Cindy’s eyes got big. “Your parents will kill you.”

“The present school-house stands in an open place beside the main road to Muirtown, treeless and comfortless, built of red, staring stone, with a playground for the boys and another for the girls, and a trim, smug-looking teacher's house, all very neat and symmetrical and well-regulated... It has pitch-pine benches and map-cases, and a thermometer to be kept at not less than 58 degrees and not more than 62 degrees, and ventilators which the Inspector is careful to examine.”

“One of the best gifts you can give to someone, is a wider perspective. It's also one of the best gifts you can receive. So if you have given someone a wider perspective, don't feel bad about it (about taking their blindfolds off and having to watch them cringe in the newfound sunlight); I know it's hard, but you're doing them a lasting favor. And a wider perspective can be difficult for you yourself to accept, in the beginning (during the time that you squint while the sunlight stings your own eyes), but later you'll find yourself coming back to it, even if you abandoned it as something worthless; you'll look for it, one day. Or it will grow on you. Perspective.”
