Quotes

Allie Keys : [narrating] When you're a kid, anything can take you away: soap bubbles or a hose spraying a rainbow up over a new-mowed lawn. I guess growing up means that it gets harder and harder to find your way back to that kind of place where you can be taken. The one time I see grown-ups with that same sort of look on their faces is when they're first falling in love.

Allie Keys : [narrating] I remember my mom telling me that she only went to church once, with her mother on Easter Sunday. When the minister said that the Kingdom of Heaven was within her, that scared her half to death. It meant it was all up to her. People want the comfort of strong arms. They look to the voices in their heads. To drugs. They look to the sky.

Allie Keys : [narrating] What makes us human? That we can think? That we can feel sorrow and pain? Maybe. That we can laugh? I hope so. We can hurt and we can laugh, and we know a past and a present, and in some ways a future. Maybe what makes us human is that we know just enough to think and know where we're going.

Allie Keys : [narrating] I asked my dad once about his dad, my grandfather. I knew he'd had some hard times, but I didn't know a lot more than that. I said to my dad, "I guess maybe he was kind of lost." "Not lost, really," my dad said, "but for a while, he was definitely bewildered."
