Quotes by Conor Grennan (?)

“I steeled myself for this interaction. Fact: I knew I could talk to people. Fact: Children were little people. Little, scary people. I took solace in the fact that if this demonstration went horribly wrong, I could probably outrun them.”
― Conor Grennan, Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal

“I am easily inspired by measurable progress...”

“If walking into the responsibility of caring for eighteen children was difficult, walking out on that responsibility was almost impossible. The children had become a constant presence, little spinning tops that splattered joy onto everyone they bumped into.”
― Conor Grennan, Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal
