Emily Wing Smith

Being soaked alone is cold. Being soaked with your best friend is an adventure.

I guess the whole world is made up of things coming together and things falling apart,

A person should try to understand dreams. A person should take warning from them.

I hate it when people say they__e trying to be your friend. You shouldn__ have to try to be somebody__ friend. Either you like someone or you don__. Either you want them as a friend or not. Making friends isn__ like trying for the lead in the school play.

But I loved the library simply because it was a library. I love libraries. I like reading, but I love libraries. Being surrounded by books makes me feel safe, the way some people need trees or mountains around them to feel secure. Not me _ nature__ not what I cling to. I cling to books.
