Jerry Spinelli
Because that's what you do, you stand up for your best friend. And you eat lunch with him and talk with him and share secrets and laugh a lot and go places and do stuff, and when you wake up in the morning, he's the first person you think of.
Jerry Spinelli
You haven't lived until you've basked in the adoration of people.
