“So distracting, so complete is she that she is gone before many realize that she had no escort, she was along, a parade of one.”
Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl“So distracting, so complete is she that she is gone before many realize that she had no escort, she was alone, a parade of one.”
Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl“You be you and I'll be me, today and today and today, and let's trust the future to tomorrow. Let the stars keep track of us. Let us ride our own orbits and trust that they will meet. May our reunion be not a finding but a sweet collision of destinies!”
Jerry Spinelli, Love, Stargirl“At the same time, we held back. Because she was different. Different. We had no one to compare her to, no one to measure her against.”
Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl“I'm looking over a four-leaf clover that I overlooked before.”
Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl“And the trouble with bad times is, you can't sleep through them.”
Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl“You know, there's a place we all inhabit, but we don't much think about it, we're scarcely conscious of it, and it lasts for less than a minute a day. It's in the morning, for most of us. It's that time, those few seconds when we're coming out of sleep but we're not really awake yet. For those few seconds we're something more primitive than what we are about to become. We have just slept the sleep of our most distant ancestors, and something of them and their world still clings to us. For those few moments we are unformed, uncivilized. We are not the people we know as ourselves, but creatures more in tune with a tree than a keyboard. We are untitled, unnamed, natural, suspended between was and will be, the tadpole before the frog, the worm before the butterfly. We are, for a few brief moments, anything and everything we could be.”
Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl“Sometimes I try to erase myself. And then, if I've done a good job, I'm erased. I'm nothing. And then the world is free to flow into me like water into an empty bowl. And I see. I hear. But not with eyes and ears. I'm not outside my world anymore, and I'm not really inside it either. The thing is, there's no difference between me and the universe. The boundary is gone. I am it and it is me. I am a stone, a cactus thorn. I am rain.”
