| ca38ae8 | The fireworks continued to burn and spread all over the school that afternoon. Though they caused plenty of disruption, the other teachers did not seem to mind them very much.

| 5441d82 | Instead of answering, Will took a step toward her, and all at once, everything happened too quickly to even make sense of it.

| f6d381f | Spending time with Savannah made me wonder whether it was possible to defy the norm. I wanted more of her, and no matter what happened between us, I already knew I'd never forget anything about her. As crazy as it sounded, she was becoming part of me, and I was already dreading the fact that we wouldn't be able to spend the day together tomorrow. Or the day after, or the day after that. Maybe, I told myself, we could beat the odds.' - John | love military-love | Nicholas Sparks | |

| b1b15c5 | It has always been my view that terrorism is not spawned by the poverty of money; it is spawned by the poverty of dignity.

Every time you place a book in the hands of a child, you do the same thing. It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. It gives him choices. It gives him freedom. Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things. | Lois Lowry | ||
