“My earliest memories are of my brother, pointing the home video camera at me and saying, "C'mon, Ange, give us a show!" Neither of my parents ever said, "Be quiet! Stop talking!"

“I learned early that crying out in protest could accomplish things. My older brothers and sister had started to school when, sometimes, they would come in and ask for a buttered biscuit or something and my mother, impatiently, would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a fuss until I got what I wanted. I remember well how my mother asked me why I couldn't be a nice boy like Wilfred; but I would think to myself that Wilfred, for being so nice and quiet, often stayed hungry. So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.” IfsThinkingWantWellsSometimesWantedSchoolRememberMotherAsksBoysNiceCryBrotherQuietAccomplishHungryNoiseProtestBrothers And SistersWant SomethingOlder BrotherBiscuits Book:The Autobiography of Malcolm X Source: The Autobiography of Malcolm X
“What’s that poem again?” Will, who had been twirling his empty teacup around his fingers, stood up straight and declaimed: “Each spake words of high disdain, And insult to his heart’s best brother—” “Oh, by the Angel, Will, do be quiet,” said Charlotte, standing up. “I must go and write a letter to Aloysius Starkweather that drips remorse and pleading. I don’t need you distracting me.” And, gathering up her skirts, she hurried from the room. “No appreciation for the arts,” Will murmured, setting his teacup down.” NeedsWritingHeartArtSaidRoomsBrotherQuietAngelStandingEmptyLettersFingersAppreciationSettingSettingsInsultGatheringRemorseNeed YouSkirtsDisdainStood UpPleadingCharlotteDon't Need YouTwirlingI Don't Need YouNo Appreciation Book:The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince; Clockwork Princess Source: The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince; Clockwork Princess

“And then there were the wallflowers who had recognized for years that the thing was hopeless, who had found in that information a kind of calm. They no longer tried, with a bright and desperate effort, to sustain a conversation with somebody's brother, somebody's usher, somebody's roommate, somebody's roommate's usher's brother... The category of wallflower who had given up on all this was very quiet, not indifferent, only quiet.
