Sara couldn't help but think that she had somehow missed the moment when life was meant to begin. For a long time she had simply drifted through it, reading. While everyone around her was teenaged, unhappy, and foolish, this hadn't been a problem. But then suddenly everyone had grown up around her, and she had done nothing but read. Katarina Bivald
About This Quote

When we become adults, we realize that our childhood was like a dream and we wished we could go back and do things differently. Our time in childhood wasn't wasted and we could have done so many things differently. We could have listened to the advice of our parents, our teachers, or our friends. We could have worked harder or learned more.

We could have been better prepared for the future and what it would bring. But, in retrospect, we can see that it didn't matter because we had the chance.
