Emily Whitman Quotes

Soil, blood, seed- Let me draw strength from you. let it be enough.

Emily Whitman

An alder tree can't become an oak at will. A maple can't pick up its roots like legs, and stride, step by powerful step, along the shore to find the sun. And everything that ever said otherwise--all those years of school, and the plays and moving pictures that promise you can be someone else, something more--they were all lies.
