1. "Listen to the mustn'ts, child,
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts.
The impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves.
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
Anything can be." - Where the Sidewalk Ends
2."How much good inside a day?
Depends how good you live 'em.
How much love inside a friend?
Depends how much you give 'em." - A Light in the Attic
3. "There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
'I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong.'
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you -- just listen to
The voice that speaks inside." - Falling Up
4. "It's amazing the difference
A bit of sky can make." - Where the Sidewalk Ends

7. "She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by-
And never knew." - Every Thing On It
8. "ALICE
She drank from a bottle called DRINK ME
And she grew so tall,
She ate from a plate called TASTE ME
And down she shrank so small.
And so she changed, while other folks
Never tried nothin' at all." - Where the Sidewalk Ends
9. "So please get your rags
And your polishing jars,
Somebody has to go polish the stars." - A Light in the Attic
10. "Tell me I'm clever,
Tell me I'm kind,
Tell me I'm talented,
Tell me I'm cute,
Tell me I'm sensitive,
Graceful and Wise
Tell me I'm perfect--
But tell me the TRUTH." - Falling Up
