To Night Owl from Dogfish QUOTES

1 " I really like reading stories with an unreliable narrator, because the person telling you what happened can't be trusted with the facts and you have to figure it out.
Maybe when it's your own story, you're always going to be an unreliable narrator" -Avery (Night Owl) "

― Holly Goldberg Sloan , To Night Owl from Dogfish

2 " Gay people having families doesn't seem like something anyone should have to shout about anymore. Some people are a lot more interested in raising kids than other people. From what I can see, the person most interested usually does the best job" -Bett "

3 " But I think it's not bad to have a blowup with someone you really care about. Once that happens, you can be even closer. Maybe because sharing bad things as well as good things means you're in it for real. That's what being honest with someone does." -Avery (Night Owl) "

7 " It’s all SUPER old-school. That’s why you’re getting a LETTER. Pen + paper (writing is required). It’s like the Stone Age. Or the Paper Age. So I’m spending the summer in this really primitive place, except with a LOT of rules. Only they don’t call them rules. They call them “traditions. "

8 " No one’s supposed to tell anyone, “You two shouldn’t love each other.” But maybe, also, no one’s supposed to tell anyone, “You two should love each other. "

9 " Here's what we have seen: The way one story ends but then starts up again. The way families are made from people who want to be together more than they want to be apart. The way no one can tell you what is or isn't a family. Well, they can tell you but you don't have to listen and you shouldn't listen. You need to only listen to your heart. The way worrying is sometimes about the wrong thing. The way some people are bold and some people are more scared, but once in a while the parts switch. The way you can discover love even when you don't expect it. "

10 " You and I are now the Romeo and Juliet of friendships. Only we’re the Juliet and Juliet. "

11 " We picked wild blueberries. The first 7 minutes were fun. The second 7 minutes were sort of boring. The next 2 minutes were just work + then we quit. So if someone asks you to go find wild blueberries, remember this time breakdown. "

12 " I guess even at thirteen you’re not too old to feel left out. But probably that’s true at any age. Even when we’re really old and in a nursing home there will probably be cliques. "

13 " As Hamilton would say, “We are not throwing away our shot! "
