the well written - laurie halse anderson

When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at a time. You'd be
shocked at how many adults are really dead inside—walking through their days
with no idea who they are, just waiting for a heart attack or cancer or a Mack
truck to come along and finish the job. It's the saddest thing I know.
