"Let me be something every minute of
every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be
warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well
dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a
liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every
blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one
little piece of living is ever lost.”
― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
