More From Lois Lowry

Or perhaps a widow found him and took him in: brought him an easy chair, changed his sweater every morning, shaved his face until the hair stopped growing, took him faithfully to bed with her every night, whispered sweet nothings into what was left of his ear, laughed with him over black coffee, cried with him over yellowing pictures, talked greenly about having kids of her own, began to miss him before she became sick, left him everything in her will, thought of only him as she died, always knew he was fiction but believed in him anyway.

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.

I wish to live because life has within it that which is good, that which is beautiful and that which is love. therefore, since i have known all of these things, i have found them to be reason enough and - i wish to live. moreover, because this is so, i wish others to live for generations and generations and generations.

You can't own a human being. you can't lose what you don't own. suppose you did own him. could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? you really want somebody like that? somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? you don't, do you? and neither does he. you're turning over your whole life to him. your whole life, girl. and if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? he can't value you more than you value yourself.

We all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. we respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.

Woe to him whom this world charms from gospel duty. woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when god has brewed them into a gale. woe to him who seeks to please rather than to appal. woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness. woe to him who, in this world, courts not dishonor! woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation. yea, woe to him who, as the great pilot paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway.

They had been corrupted by money, and he had been corrupted by sentiment. sentiment was the more dangerous, because you couldn’t name its price. a man open to bribes was to be relied upon below a certain figure, but sentiment might uncoil in the heart at a name, a photograph, even a smell remembered.
