A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

Who we are

"It's hard on Sandy and Dennys, too. I don't know if they're really like everybody else, or if they're just able to pretend they are. I try to pretend, but it isn't any help." p19

"I do face facts," Meg said. "They're a lot easier to face than people, I can tell you." p31

"Because I care. Nobody else does. You don't know how lucky you are to be loved." p42

"But of course we can't take credit for any of our talents. It's how we use them that counts." p80

Time and Loss

"Maybe if Father were here he could help you, but I don't think I can do anything till you've managed to plow through some more time. Then things will be easier for you. But that isn't much help right now, is it?" p19

#truth

"I don't understand it any more than you do, but one thing I've learned is that you don't have to understand things for them to be." p29

"Therre willl nno llonggerr bee sso manyy pplleasanntt thinggss too llookk att iff rressponsible ppeoplle ddo nnott ddoo ssomethingg abboutt thee unnppleassantt oness." p82
