Books / History / Quotes / Reading

This new series is an ongoing collection of quotes from the books I am currently reading. — Douglas

”Months went by, in fact, before our “home” changed much at all from what it was the day we moved in—bare floors, blanket partitions, one bulb in each compartment dangling from a roof beam, and open ceilings overhead so that mischievous boys like Ray and Kiyo could climb up into the rafters and peek into anyone’s life.”

From Farwell to Manzanar by by Jeanne Wakatsuki Housto and James D. Houston
