Sometimes when you mend a chain, the place where you fix it is strongest of all  (Bruce Coville Quotes) The real heroes are the librarians and teachers who at no small risk to themselves refuse to lie down and play dead for censors  (Bruce Coville Quotes) All these guys picking on smart kids and calling them geeks and dweebs are going to grow up and want to know why they don’t do something about the terrible state the world is in. I can tell you why. By the time they grow up, most of the kids who realy could have changed things are wrecked  (Bruce Coville Quotes) Sometimes when you mend a chain, the place where you fix it is strongest of all... Never was a chain that couldn’t be broken. Sometimes its even a good idea  (Bruce Coville Quotes)
