Quotes from Joyelle McSweeney

You are reading while walking, she reads. You can't see your feet. The spread pages glide over the sidewalk, mottled by leaf shadows, by moonlight and streetlight. Over continents of shadow, continents of light. The book is a bird with white wings. You are a bird. Reading, you can fly. You are flying now.

BENTNECK: Ach, nothing's free! Life's a peep show, not a look-see!
