Persistence is the key. My first book was rejected over 20 times. And i still get many rejections for books. But I'm stubborn and I keep trying. Somewhere - if your book is god enough- there is a publisher that will like it. Of course it has to be "worthy." I am known for doing a minimum of 10 drafts a book! (less)

Quotes by Carol Matas  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We are alive. We are human, with good and bad in us. That's all we know for sure. We can't create a new species or a new world. That's been done. Now we have to live within those boundaries . What are our choices? We can despair and curse, and change nothing. We can choose evil like our enemies have done and create a world based on hate. Or we can try to make things better.”
Carol Matas, Daniel's Story

“I want someone to pinch me so I can feel something, anything. I'm sick of this numbness, of feeling so alone and outside of everything, but I know it's too dangerous to wake up."

—Ruth Mendenberg”
Carol Matas, After the War

“As for sex. Well, of course I could’ve had sex. Guys will have sex with a watermelon if they’re desperate enough. Lots of girls try to prove their love by having sex. It only proves they’re having sex.”
Carol Matas, The Freak
