Quote It Saturday -- Feeling Things for Other People -- Liesl & Po by Lauren Oliver

Welcome to Quote It Saturday, hosted by Freda.

"I'm very sorry to hear you are tired," she said . . . 
"What does that mean?  What does it mean to say you're sorry?"
Liesl groped for words to describe it.  "It means -- it means what it means.  It means I feel bad.  It means that I wish I could make you untired" . . . 
"But why should you wish anything for me?"
"It's an expression," Liesl said.  Then she thought hard for a minute.  "People need other people to feel things for them," she said.  It gets lonely to feel things all by yourself."
