Laurie Halse Anderson Quote

The light beyond my eyes flashes with a hundred futures for me. Doctor. Ship's captain. Forest ranger. Librarian. Beloved of that man or that women or those children or those people who voted for me or who painted my picture. Poet. Acrobat. Engineer. Friend. Guardian. Avenging whirlwind. A million futures—not all pretty, not all long, but all of them mine. I do have a choice
