Quotations from the book

Dying to Know You

Aidan Chambers

Sometimes the course of our lives depends on what we do or don’t do in a few seconds, a heartbeat, when we either seize the opportunity, or just miss it. Miss the moment and you never get a chance again.

—Aidan Chambers in Dying to Know You
