Lois Lowry Quotes
Early on I came to realize something, and it came from the mail I received from kids.

Perhaps it is not-being that is the true state, and all our dream of life is inexistent; but, if so, we feel that these phrases of music, these conceptions which exist in relation to our dream, must be nothing either.
