Laurie Halse Anderson Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: b. October 23, 1961
Birthday: October 23
I stand in the center aisle of the auditorium, a wounded zebra in a National Geographic special, looking for someone, anyone to sit next to. A predator approaches: gray jock buzz cut, whistle around a neck thicker than his head. Probably a social studies teacher, hired to coach a blood sport.
