Before the Ever After QUOTES

1 " You got something you love, little man? Then you good. You love food? You cook. You love clothes? You design. You love the wind and water? You sail. "

― Jacqueline Woodson , Before the Ever After

2 " When you love a thing, little man, my dad said, you gotta love it with everything you got. Till you can’t even tell where that thing you love begins and where you end. "

― Jacqueline Woodson , Before the Ever After

3 " Sometimes I’m just sitting in my room and a song will come on the radio that stops something inside of me, makes me sit up straight on my bed and listen. Sometimes, it’s the piano chords, a sweet riff that has all eighty-eight keys talking. Sometimes it’s the drums—high hat telling a story—I don’t know how to explain the way music moves through my brain and my blood and my bones. "

― Jacqueline Woodson , Before the Ever After

4 " he’s not my hero, he’s my dad, which means he’s my every single thing. "

― Jacqueline Woodson , Before the Ever After
