how fiction can be true...

some of my fav lines from because of winn-dixie:

The preacher: "Dear God, thank you for warm summer nights and candlelight and good food. But thank you most of all for friends. We appreciate the complicated and wonderful gifts you give us in each other. And we appreciate the task you put down before us, of loving each other the best we can, even as you love us. We pray in Christ's name. Amen"

Gloria Dump: "There ain't no way you can hold on to something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it"

Gloria Dump: "It's different for everyone," she said. "You find out on your own. But in the meantime, you got to remember, you can't always judge people by the things they done. You got to judge them by what they are doing now. You judge Otis by the pretty music he plays and how kind he is to them animals, because that's all you know about him right now. All right?"

India Opal: Just about everything that happened to me that summer happened because of Winn-Dixie
