Lois Lowry Quotes

And I Could Test Myself - My Own Courage - With It, Too, Because When The Doors At Either End Of The Secret Staircase Were Closed, It Was Impenetrably Dark. I Hid In The Staircase, Shivering With Terror, Telling The Narrative: The Little Girl Was In A Dark, Dark Place But She Was Very Brave ... Sometimes The Door At The Bottom Opened, And A Wedge Of Light Sliced Up The Stairs; A Maid, Her Arms Filled With Folded Laundry, Would Find Me And Ask In Amazement What I Was Doing There.
And Though I Answered Lightheartedly That I Was Playing, The Truth Is That I Was Not Entirely Certain What I Was Doing There, Crouched And Frightened In The Darkness. Only Now, Sixty Years Later, Do I See That I Was Arming Myself, Rehearsing Panic, Loss, And Helplessness; Assessing My Own Cowardice And Courage, And And The Same Time Reassuring Myself That The Door Would Always Open, That The Light Would Always Find Its Way In.
