　　2、“A painting is more than the sum of its parts,” he would tell me, and then go on to explain how the cow by itself is just a cow, and the meadow by itself is just grass and flowers, and the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light, but put them all together and you’ve got magic. ----Wendelin Van Draanen

　　3、My heart stopped. It just stopped beating. And for the first time in my life, I had that feeling.

And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person’s eyes. ----Wendelin Van Draanen

　　4、The first day I met Bryce Loski, I flipped. Honestly, one look at him and I became a lunatic. It’s his eyes. Something in his eyes. They’re blue, and framed in the blackness of his lashes, they’re dazzling. Absolutely breathtaking. ----Wendelin Van Draanen

　　5、Some of us get dipped in flat，some in satin，some in gloss… But every once in a while you find someone who’s iridescent，and when you do，nothing will ever compare.“

　　7、This kite looked lucky to me. It wasn’t anything fancy, just an old-fashioned diamond with blue and yellow stripes. But it stuttered along in a friendly way, and when it dive-bombed, it seemed to do so from exhaustion as opposed to spite. Ornery kites dive-bomb out of spite. ----Wendelin Van Draanen

　　11、I love to watch my father paint. Or really, I love to hear him talk while he paints. The words always come out soft and somehow heavy when he’s brushing on the layers of a landscape. Not sad. Weary, maybe, but peaceful. ----Wendelin Van Draanen

　　12、I’ve flown kites before and I know—sometimes they’re gone forever, and sometimes they’re just waiting in the middle of the road for you to rescue them. Kites can be lucky or they can be ornery. I’ve had both kinds, and a lucky kite is definitely worth chasing after. ----Wendelin Van Draanen

　　14、It wasn’t long before I wasn’t afraid of being up so high and found the spot that became my spot. I could sit there for hours, just looking out at the world. Sunsets were amazing. Some days they’d be purple and pink, some days they’d be a blazing orange, setting fire to clouds across the horizon. ----Wendelin Van Draanen

　　17、Dad doesn’t seem to see the backyard or the chickens when he’s painting, though. It’s not just the snapshot or the canvas he sees either. It’s something much bigger.He gets this look in his eye like he’s transcended the yard, the neighborhood, the world. ----Wendelin Van Draanen

　　18、Proper lighting is everything！ ----Wendelin Van Draanen

　　19、The sycamore tree had been at the top of the hill forever. It was on a big vacant lot, giving shade in the summer and a place for birds to nest in the spring. It had a built-in slide for us, too. Its trunk bent up and around in almost a complete spiral, and it was so much fun to ride down. ----Wendelin Van Draanen
