Words have longer lives than people.
Mary E. Pearson
We all have a dark place in us. It's what we do with it and the choice we make.
Mary E. Pearson
A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten . . .
Mary E. Pearson
Whatever you choose for your stationery is your favorite color because it's where you pour your heart out.
Mary E. Pearson

Mary E. Pearson
I wonder at the weight of a Sparrow.
Mary E. Pearson
Pieces. Isn't that what all of life is anyway? Shards. Bits. Moments. Am I less because I have fewer, or do the few I have mean more?
Mary E. Pearson
When your life has had few events to occupy it, it's amazing how a simple encounter can seem like an entire three-act play.

Boredom reigns on all levels. The rain is a welcome change. I have seen the pond swell and the creek surge.

Mary E. Pearson
It's other people who make us wise, and I haven't known nearly enough.
Mary E. Pearson
Father says it will come in time. “Time heals,” he says. I don’t tell him that I don’t know what time is.
Mary E. Pearson
He believes me. But that is nothing new. He always did because I was a rule follower. I played by the rules he understood. But there are new rules now, ones he doesn't know yet. He'll learn. Just as I'm learning.
Mary E. Pearson
What I think is all I have left. My mind is the only thing that makes me different from a fancy toaster. What we think does matter-it's all we truly have.
Mary E. Pearson
It's the unknown that I fear, the bites of memories that still have no connections.
Mary E. Pearson
I don't want five hundred billion neural chips. I want guts.
Mary E. Pearson
On a small planet, where minute follows minute, day follows day, year follows year, where tradition marches on with a deafening, orderly beat -sometimes the order is disturbed by a dreamer, an artist, a scribbler - sometimes the beat is changed one person at a time.
Mary E. Pearson
There are all kinds of friends you make in life... But there's something different about someone who spreads their wings with you.
Mary E. Pearson
...and time becomes a forgotten detail.
Mary E. Pearson
But I am more than a name. More than they tell me
