I want to live for something. I don't want to live to get charity food to give me enough strength to go back to get more charity food.
Betty SmithOh time...time, pass so that I forget! Oh time, Great Healer, pass over me and let me forget.
Betty SmithBecause the child must have a valuable thing which is called imagination. The child must have a secret world in which live things that never were. It is necessary that she believe. She must start out believing in things not of this world. Then when the world becomes too ugly for living in, the child can reach back and live in her imagination.
