Quotes by Julia Reed (?)

“The lesson here is that a U.S. Attorney with a vendetta and endless pockets of our tax dollars at work is far more terrifying than the devil himself.”

“The [Madeira] School is still all girls and still thriving, and I am forever grateful for my time there and what it taught me. Not least of which is how to hold on tight and fake it during those trying stretches when functioning—and finishing—are not necessarily assured. To that end, I will repeat the line from my own senior yearbook page, not from Miss Madeira, but from Andrew Jackson: “You are uneasy; you’ve never sailed with me before, I see.”

“Lots of words have been written about home being where your heart, your love, your dog, your parakeet, whatever, is. I get it—bricks and mortar don’t make a home and all that jazz …

For me, home is where you find the touchstones of your life …

… And that’s the thing about touchstones: Unlike a house, you can take them with you.”
― Julia Reed, South Toward Home: Adventures and Misadventures in my Native Land
