Betty Smith Quotes
Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat.

And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
