Walter Dean Myers Quotes

People Told Me To Give Up Trying To Be Special And Settle Down To A Regular Life. There Ain't Nothing Wrong With A Regular Life, And That's The Lord's Truth ... But It Wasn't For Me, Because I Wanted To Be Something Special ... I Knew How Easy It Was For A Dream To Die. I Seen That All Around Me. You Could Let It Die By Just Looking The Other Way - You Know, Some Of Those Asian People Say They Don't Kill Nothing, But They'll Take A Fish Out Of Water And Lay It On The Ground And Then Say It Just Died On Its Own - You Can Do That With A Dream, Too. And Sometimes You Can Get So Frustrated, You Feel So Bad About Your Dream, That You Go On And Kill It Yourself. When You Do That, You're Killing A Piece Of Yourself, Too.
- Mr. Cephus
