Lois Lowry Quote

Kira, your leg will take a great deal out of me. I'll have to sleep, after, maybe for a whole day or even longer. And I don't have much time.She looked at him quizzically. Time for what?I'll explain. But for now, I think we should start. If I do it right away, I can sleep completely through the night and almost all of the morning. You can use that time to become accustomed to being whole...I [i]am[/i] whole, she said defiantly.
