“They worm their way into our heads and touch us in a way that's more personal than any other school subject. Their lessons will sit quietly within us for years, until something awakens then: a particular set of experiences, a story in the news, maybe a personal crisis. When we reread them as adults, they can resonate with us in ways that we never dreamed of when we first met them.” — Carol Atherton

Their lessons will sit quietly within us for years, until something awakens then: a particular set of experiences, a story in the news, maybe a personal crisis.
