“If you want something to grow
and be so beautiful you could have a nice day just from looking at it,
you have to wait.
Meanwhile you keep watering it
and it has to have sunshine
and also
you talk to it.”
Virginia Euwer Wolff, Make Lemonade
“I tell him he's a good boy. He says he knows it.
"Good boy sure," he says. I want to dig down way far into his brain and find out some of his details.
How does he know? What makes him so convinced?”
Virginia Euwer Wolff, Make Lemonade
“Why didn't you tell us the first day?"
And Jolly goes, "Well, nobody told me—I didn't know—"
She goes, "Nobody told me. You know?"

And when she says this
it's like a flat tire got fixed in my head
and I suddenly see the sign of her life: "Nobody told me."
I look in my brain and I make a brief list
of who's sposed to tell you things.
It's your folks
and your teachers
and your girlfriends
and your coach if you have a sport.”
Virginia Euwer Wolff, Make Lemonade
