Hush Jacqueline Woodson Quotes

In all your getting, get understanding.

Nothing in the world is like this- a bright white page with pale blue lines. The smell of a newly sharpened pencil the soft hush of it moving finally one day into letters.

But what I know now is this: Look at your grandmother’s face. Remember the lines. Touch her cheekbones. Hold the memory of her in your fingers, in your eyes, in your mind. It might be all you get to keep.
