Quotes are my jam! There’s something about finding snippets of words combined to inspire, motivate and rejuvenate you. As my children and I read through A Wrinkle In Time together, I am finding so many inspiring quotes to use in my day-to-day life.
The entire premise of A Wrinkle In Time is enough to inspire and motivate you! The manuscript was rejected dozens and dozens of time before being published in 1962. Author Madeleine L’Engle theorized it took so long because it was “too different” – a science fiction novel with a female protagonist (go Diva Meg!); quantum physics; and adults and children alike can read and enjoy this novel. It was just doing too much for the times it was written in. Something many of us can relate to with our out-of-the-box ideas that may not always be accepted by those we love and admire.

From visionary director Ava DuVernay comes Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” an epic adventure based on Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless classic which takes audiences across dimensions of time and space, examining the nature of darkness versus light and, ultimately, the triumph of love.
