Quotes about: Childhood

• We are all refugees from our childhoods. And so we turn, among other things, to stories. To write a story, to read a story, is to be a refugee from the state of refugees.

For there was a moment when anything was possible. And there will be a moment when nothing is possible. But in between we can create.
