quotes by Patricia MacLachlan
"There is always something to miss, no matter where you are."
— Patricia MacLachlan (Sarah, Plain And Tall)
— Patricia MacLachlan (Sarah, Plain And Tall)
"'Sometimes, what people choose to write down on paper is more important than what they say.'
Caleb didn't know what Sarah meant. But I knew. I wrote in my journal every night. And when I read what I had written, I could see myself there, clearer than when I looked in the mirror. I could see all of us: Papa, who couldn't always say the things he felt; Caleb, who said everything; and Sarah, who didn't know that she had changed us all."
— Patricia MacLachlan (Skylark (Sarah, Plain and Tall))
