“It takes two parents to produce a child,
but it takes an entire village to raise the child.”
-African Proverb
A classic, and a good intro to The Outsiders.

Question #10 refers to the following poem by Emily Dickinson.
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
