“I watched the early morning light pass over and through the windows of colored glass, leaving streaks of red and green and yellow on the stone floor. When I was little, I used to try and capture the colored light. I thought I could hold it in my hand and carry it home.

― Karen Cushman, Catherine, Called Birdy

― E.L. Konigsburg, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

“Then I thought, boy, isn't that just typical? You wait and wait and wait for something, and then when it happens, you feel sad.”
― Sharon Creech, Absolutely Normal Chaos
