Something About September Quotes

“She stared up at him. "I get it," she said. "Your life can be your life. But there's always the path not taken. You always wonder about it.”

“...I often wonder what my teen shelf would think of me now," Rebecca said. "She probably wouldn't have believed me if I told her this was in our future."

"What do you think your teen self might find most surprising about you now?"

Rebecca thought for a moment, bit her lip. "Probably that I still love books just as much," she said slowly. "But that sometimes it feels like I'm circling the same conversations, the same ideas. Like I've stopped discovering new things about books and started managing them instead." She smiled ruefully. "Like I've somehow made books boring for myself--and I worry a lot that my students are bored, too.”
