More quotes by Lauren Myracle
Even so, I was proud of myself for taking action at all. I didn't hide or run away or pretend the ugliness didn't happen. I stood up and said something that was true. I said it out loud, and by doing so, I was standing up for lots of people, not just me.

Lauren Myracle
And they all have pretty chilrden, And the children go to school, And the children to go summer camp, And then to the university, Where they are put in bozes And they come out all the same. - Malvina Reynolds

Lauren Myracle
Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.
Lauren Myracle
One: Don't play leapfrog with elephants. Two: Don't pet a tiger unless his tail is wagging. Three: Never, ever, mess with the Ladies Auxiliary. -Mayberry Rules for a Long, Happy Life
Lauren Myracle
Every girl on the planet was familiar to one-last-time e-mail checks.
Lauren Myracle
It's unfair how the kids who are starving for attention tended to be so annoying that people had no inclination to give it to them.
Lauren Myracle
Hey. What is it that famous person said? 'It'll all work out in the end, and if it doesn't, that means it's not the end yet'?

I was just teasing, I say. I myself don't like to eat plain butter, but hey, it's a free world.
Lauren Myracle
We all mess up. It's what we learn from our mistakes that matters.
Lauren Myracle
And books are such an empowering way to give voice to some of these kids who aren't yet ready to tell their story. Or don't know what their story is, or are trying to figure it out.
