"Sometimes I wish they'd ask for my wisdom……" — Lois Lowry
"Sometimes I wish they'd ask for my wisdom more often - there are so many things I could tell them; things I wish they would change. But they don't want change. Life here is so orderly, so predictable - so painless. It's what they've chosen."
