Katherine Howe Quotes

My Life Was Such A Careful Balance, A Fragile Nexus Of Work And Attention And Preparation And Planning, Like The Old Vaudeville Trick Of Spinning Plates On Poles All Over A Stage, Running From One To Another To Another, Not Letting Any Of Them Fall. I'd Been So Good At It, The Running And The Spinning. I'd Been Getting Up Before Dawn And Staying Late After School And Running And Spinning The Plates For As Long As I Could Remember. I Was Getting So Tired. I Didn't Want To Run And Spin Anymore. But I Didn't Know What Would Happen, I Didn't Know Who I Would Be, If One Of The Plates Broke.
