“And I decided that there might be things I would never understand, no matter how hard I tried. Though try I would.

And that there would be people who would never hear my one small voice, no matter what I had to say.

But then a better thought occurred, and this was the one I carried away with me that day: If my life was to be just a single note in an endless symphony, how could I not sound it out for as long and as loudly as I could? (p228)”
Lauren Wolk, Wolf Hollow

“The year I turned twelve, I learned that what I said and what I did mattered. So much, sometimes, that I wasn't sure I wanted such a burden. But I took it anyway, and I carried it as best I could.”
Lauren Wolk, Wolf Hollow

“But think about how it feels when your hands are so cold they go numb. How it's only when they start to thaw out that you realize how much they hurt.”
Lauren Wolk, Wolf Hollow
