“A mistake made with good in your heart is still a mistake, but it is one for which you must forgive yourself.”
Linda Sue Park, When My Name Was Keoko

“Why was it that pride and foolishness were so often close companions?”
Linda Sue Park, A Single Shard

“How could an alphabet--letters that didn't even mean anything by themselves--be important?
But it was important. Our stories, our names, our alphabet. Even Uncle's newspaper.
It was all about words.
If words weren't important, they wouldn't try so hard to take them away.
