There's nothing ordinary about you...

To refuse to respond is in itself a response.
Those of us who write are responsible for the effect of our books.
Those who teach, who suggest books to either children or adults, are responsible for their choices.
Like it or not, we either add to the darkness of indifference and out-and-out evil which surround us
...or we light a candle to see by.

-Madeleine L'Engle

Love is the voice under all the silences,

the hope which has no opposite in fear;

the strength so strong mere forece is feebleness:

the truth more first than sun, more last than star...

e.e. cummings
