“Maybe what matters is not so much the path as who walks beside you.”

Under a Painted Sky
“Princesa came to rancho one day after her owner no want her. Says too much horse for him, too wild. But he's wrong. She's not wild, she's spirited. 'Wild' means 'I no care about what I do.' But 'spirited' means, 'I love what I do.' Big difference.” ― Stacey Lee, Under a Painted Sky
“The tricky thing about giving opinions is that sometimes they cost you more than you wanted to spend.” ― Stacey Lee, The Downstairs Girl
“West looks up. 'This is the best time to hunt, when the animals are out looking for their suppers. 'Course, with a painted sky, light's not always good.' I never heard someone call the sky painted before, but it's the perfect word. Clouds outlined in gold streak across the firmament, casting uneven shadows over the landscape.” ― Stacey Lee, Under a Painted Sky
“no one ever injured an eye by looking at the bright side.” ― Stacey Lee, Under a Painted Sky
“What is the job of a parent, but to teach a child she has worth so that one day she can transform herself into whatever she wants.” ― Stacey Lee, The Downstairs Girl
“Maybe life just tastes sweeter after you’ve licked death.” ― Stacey Lee, Under a Painted Sky
“We can run the race as well as any man. We only need the opportunity.” ― Stacey Lee, The Downstairs Girl

“We carry around the light of our loved ones who have passed. It is they who light the path for us.” ― Stacey Lee, Under a Painted Sky
“I pat my mule's neck and find comfort in the silky tufts of her mane. Father told me not to brood when people judged me for my wrapper, not my filling, or I would spend my whole life in the steamer.” ― Stacey Lee, Under a Painted Sky
“You miss being a girl? I ask her. Not as much as I thought I would. Just feels like when I'm being a boy, I can cut a wider path.” ― Stacey Lee, Under a Painted Sky
“You’re growing like a rumor, aren’t you?” ― Stacey Lee, The Downstairs Girl
“Maybe sorrow and its opposite, happiness, are like dark and light. One can’t exist without the other. And those moments of overlap are like when the moon and the sun share the same sky. A” ― Stacey Lee, Outrun the Moon
“Standing in another's shoes is good for our own postures.” ― Stacey Lee, The Downstairs Girl
“We are all like candles, and whether we are single or joined with another does not affect how brightly we can burn.” ― Stacey Lee, The Downstairs Girl
“Justice and fairness are for other people, umbrellas that open only for certain heads. The Chinese just try to stay out of the rain, and if we are caught in a downpour, we make do, knowing that the rain will not last forever.” ― Stacey Lee, The Downstairs Girl
“Your head’s like a room and when you’s forced to stay in it, you gotta deal with all the trash that’s left in there.” ― Stacey Lee, Under a Painted Sky
