Dorothy Canfield Fisher Quotes

It Is Possible That What Stirred Inside Her Head At That Moment Was Her Brain, Waking Up. She Was Nine Years Old, And She Was In The Third-A Grade At School, But That Was The First Time She Had Ever Had A Whole Thought Of Her Very Own. At Home, Aunt Frances Had Always Known Exactly What She Was Doing, And Had Helped Her Over The Hard Places Before She Even Knew They Were There; And At School Her Teachers Had Been Carefully Trained To Think Faster Than The Scholars. Somebody Had Always Been Explaining Things To Elizabeth Ann So Carefully That She Had Never Found Out A Single Thing For Herself Before. This Was A Very Small Discovery, But It Was Her Own.
