Jerry Spinelli
And the more you love someone, the safer it is to be mad at them. Love can handle mad, no problem.

When bad things turn good, the reason can usually be found in the human heart—sometimes in the hearts of great masses of people, sometimes in the heart of a solitary soul.
Jerry Spinelli
We wanted to define her, to wrap her up as we did each other, but we could not seem to get past weird and strange and goofy. Her ways knocked us off balance.
Jerry Spinelli
Nothing’s more fun than being carried away.
