Jerry Spinelli Quotes

You’ll know her more by your questions than by her answers. Keep looking at her long enough. One day you might see someone you know Picture Quote #1

If you learn to hate one or two persons... you’ll soon hate millions of people Picture Quote #1

It’s really hard to do nothing totally. Even just sitting here, like this, our bodies are churning, our minds are chattering. There’s a whole commotion going on inside us Picture Quote #1

I think of the flower in the bud: huddled, compressed, dark. Yet somehow it feels the night, knows moon from sun. It waits... waits Picture Quote #1

You occupied my space. But because you were not in my present, when I looked into my future I saw... nothing. Isn’t that sad? And stupid? Picture Quote #1

I’m not my name. My name is something I wear, like a shirt. It gets worn. I outgrow it, I change it Picture Quote #1

As we approached each other, the noise and the students around us melted away and we were utterly alone, passing, smiling, holding each other’s eyes, floors and walls gone, two people in a universe of space and stars Picture Quote #1

Best friends are always together, always whispering and laughing and running, always at each other’s house, having dinner, sleeping over. They are practically adopted by each other’s parents. You can’t pry them apart Picture Quote #1

Because that’s what you do, you stand up for your best friend. And you eat lunch with him and talk with him and share secrets and laugh a lot and go places and do stuff, and when you wake up in the morning, he’s the first person you think of Picture Quote #1

Don’t confine yourself to a select group of friends, often known as a clique. Cliques by definition leave people out. Lock yourself into one, and you’ll never know how many terrific friendships you may be missing Picture Quote #1

No one’s hurt is too small, no worry too removed, no blessing so elusive that it cannot be seen by the eyes in the back of the human heart Picture Quote #1

Because life doesn’t always happen according to a timetable or calendar. And feelings can’t be scheduled Picture Quote #1

Everybody has an angel hiding inside. When you die, your angel comes out. You can die, but not your angel. Your angel never dies Picture Quote #1

I feel like I’m playing chess underwater. The pieces keep floating away. I don’t know where things are. I can’t figure out tomorrow Picture Quote #1

I felt alone on the planet, drifting through the cosmos. With both hands I reached out to the night. There was no answer. Or maybe I just couldn’t hear it Picture Quote #1

In every age there are plenty of people around to remind you what you cannot possibly do. Thank goodness, for these naysayers provide a priceless service: They spur... us to achieve great things Picture Quote #1

How much better might human communication be if words were as precious as diamonds? If each of us were allotted only 100 words per day? Picture Quote #1

A strong relationship is an honest relationship, and no honest relationship is all peaches and cream. Love is the key. Where love abides, anger is but a passing visitor Picture Quote #1

Of course, all of their words for a thousand years could not fill the hole left by his mother, but they could raise a loving fence around it so he didn’t keep falling in Picture Quote #1

I had never realized how much I needed the attention of others to confirm my own presence Picture Quote #1

A baseball bat could not have hit me harder than that smile did. I was sixteen years old. In that time, how many thousands of smiles had been aimed at me? so why did this one feel like the first? Picture Quote #1

In our minds we tried to pin her to a corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew Picture Quote #1

Maybe it was the angle, but her fawn’s eyes, looking up at me, seemed larger than ever. I had to make an effort to keep my balance lest I fall into them Picture Quote #1

You are truly focused when you’re so focused that you don’t know you’re focused Picture Quote #1

If we are destined to be together again, be happy to know you’ll be getting the real me, not some blubbering half me Picture Quote #1

She laughed when there was no joke. She danced when there was no music. She had no friends, yet she was the friendliest person in school Picture Quote #1

Many girls have been romanced under the moon, and I don’t mean to say moonlight is overrated, but few I think have known the magic of a sunrise kiss Picture Quote #1

His smile was so wide he’d have had to break it into sections to fit it through a doorway Picture Quote #1

Or maybe you’re merely uncomfortable with uncertainty. Like the rest of the human race Picture Quote #1

We were awash in tiny attentions. Small gestures, words, empathies thought to be extinct came to life... We discovered the color of each other’s eyes Picture Quote #1
