Laurie Halse Anderson Quote

Isn't it strange how wise counsel can cool the hottest head? He made sense but my heart screamed protest.

Let my silence grow with noise as pregnant mothers grow with life. Let my silence permeate these walls as sunlight permeates a home. Let the silence rise from unwatered graves and craters left by bomb...

When everyone has a microphone, you can't hear anything. Choose one voice carefully and listen in.

To say nothing is saying something. You must denounce things you are against or one might believe that you support things you really do not.

Nothing complements a fast mind better than a slow tongue. And nothing aggravates a slow mind better than a fast tongue.

QUIT = Quickly Uphold Important Things

Speak with caution. Even if someone forgives harsh words you've spoken, they may be too hurt to ever forget them. Don't leave a legacy of pain and regret of things you never should have said.

We are all born as storytellers. Our inner voice tells the first story we ever hear.

A forest is not a wilderness, but a community of souls who speak to one another on the wind.

Close your eyes. Hear the silent snow. Listen to your soul speak.
