Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson

  • You never know ahead of time what something's really going to be like.
  • He was scared to open his mouth and show once and for all how dumb he was.
  • Fighting ain't gonna get back nothing.
  • Even a prince may be a fool.
  • Parents were what they were; it wasn't up to you to try to puzzle them out.
  • Life was delicate as a dandelion. One little puff from any direction, and it was blown to bits.
  • It would be better to be born without an arm than to go through life with no guts.
  • He may not have been born with guts, but he didn't have to die without them.
  • Everybody gets scared sometimes. The smarter you are, the more things can scare you.
  • Sometimes you need to give people something that's for them,not just something that makes you feel good giving it.
  • Handle with care--everything--even the predators.
  • You just have to stand up to your fear and not let it squeeze you white.
