Kelly Barnhill Quote: “We were each assigned a boy to work for. He would be our assigned friend. I can’t even remember which boy I was assigned. All I know is that I did a wretched job on purpose.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “Public good means that the public is good.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “The Tower is meant to be a center for learning, not a tool of tyranny. Today the doors are opening.” “Even to the library?” Wyn said hopefully. “Especially the library. Knowledge is powerful, but it is a terrible power when it is hoarded and hidden. Today, knowledge is for everyone.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “I knew in the deepest place in my heart that my mother would not – and could not – understand.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “There were a lot of falsehoods in this world, and it seemed a large percentage of them were posted in hallways, and announced ont he school’s PA system.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “Instead, they drew dragons. Big dragons, tiny dragons. Dragons destroying skyscrapers and dragons swimming with whales and dragons dancing on the head of a pin and dragons skidding down one arm of the Milky Way. Dragons in school desks. Dragons in cars. Dragons doing dishes. Dragons downing missiles. Dragons laying waste to armies or governments or home economics classrooms. There were no words. No explanations. No statements of intent. Just dragons.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “Was I the immovable object, or was I the unstoppable force? Perhaps I was both. Perhaps this is what we learn from our mothers.”

Kelly Barnhill Quote: “Something for herself. Something to share. A way to belong. She learned to trade in kindness and discovered the tremendous value in small mercies and selfless giving. The more she gave, the more she seemed to have. It was the best sort of magic.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “She found bits and pieces of magic in the gaps of the world and squirreled them away.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “But I am a scientist, sirs, and my allegiance is not to this body, nor even to myself, but only to the truth. Who benefits when knowledge is buried? Who gains when science succumbs to political expediency?”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “There is a limit to how much we can hold, and how much we can keep in this world. It’s not a good idea to cling to the things you can’t bear to lose. That’s how we break, you see?”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “When power belongs, not to the violent, and not to the wealthy and well-connected, but to the people, a different sort of future begins to present itself.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “Who benefits when knowledge is buried? Who gains when science succumbs to political expediency? Not I, Congressmen. And certainly not the American people, whom you are honor-bound to serve.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “I had been saying these words for so long that I had never considered how quickly a comforting truism can become a limitation – or a trap.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “To be human is to lie, after all. Our minds tell lies to our hearts and our hearts tell lies to our souls.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “But I was wrong about a lot of things when it came to her. This is not particularly unusual. I think, perhaps, none of us ever know our mothers, not really. Or at least, not until it’s too late.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “Pleasure radiated from their bodies in waves – pleasure at the simple fact of being this very person, at this very moment, living this very life.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “Who benefits, my dear, when you force yourself to not feel angry?”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “I have been asleep. I have been lulled by my love for Xan. I am meant to be in the world – and I have not been. Not for ages. Shame on me.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “They remembered that a story, in the mind of the reader, is like music. And discussing stories among other minds and other hearts feels like a symphony. They remembered how ideas make their own light, and how words have their own mass and weight and being.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “The beautiful thing about science is we do not know what we cannot know and we will not know until we know.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “Each lie they told fell from their lips and scattered on the ground, tinkling and glittering like broken glass.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “The only way we challenge poor thinking and bad ideas is through the careful examination of the facts and the publication of data.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “They told her that a husband is the head of the family. If he doesn’t like her work, then what was the point of arguing? My mother uses the same logic to justify all manner of my own father’s sins. Why do women do this to themselves? What kind of sister turns her back on her own? I have never understood this.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “Hope... is those first tiny buds that form at the very end of winter. How dry they look! How dead! And how cold they are in our fingers! But not for long. They grow big, then sticky, then swollen, and then the whole world is green.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “You’ll learn that you’re safest around the people you mistrust and dislike. Your guard is up, you see? The more you love someone, the more dangerous to you they become. The more you love someone, the more willing you are to show them your throat.”
Kelly Barnhill Quote: “While it is true that there is a freedom in forgetting – and this country has made great use of that freedom – there is a tremendous power in remembrance. Indeed, it is memory that teaches us, and reminds us, again and again, who we truly are and who we have always been.”
