Hamlet Quote by Gayle Forman
““Or maybe it's not a miracle. Maybe this is just life. When you open yourself up to it. When you put yourself in the path of it. When you say yes. How can I come this far and not tell him - he, who would understand it best - that by giving my that flyer, by inviting me to skip Hamlet, he helped me realize that it's not to be that matters, but how to be?””
