“I believe that children in this country need a more robust literary diet than they are getting. …It does not hurt them to read about good and evil, love and hate, life and death. Nor do I think they should read only about things that they understand. '…a man’s reach should exceed his grasp.' So should a child’s. For myself, I will never talk down to, or draw down to, children.

“छुटकू गिलहरी को याद आ रहा था कि मम्मी ने सजीव और निर्जीव में फ़र्क बताया था। उन्होंने कहा था कि जीवित पेड-पौधों और जानवरों में लचक होती है। जीवित होना यानी लचक होना। अकड़ जाना मौत की निशानी है। उसने पेड़ की डाल से नीचे देखा, सूखी टहनियां और पत्ते अकड़े पड़े थे जबकि जिस हरे-भरे पत्तों वाली पतली-सी टहनी पर छुटकू बैठी थी, वह पत्तों से लदी हुई लचीली डाल थी। उसे बात समझ आ गई थी कि जीवित रहने के लिए लचीला होना ज़रूरी है।”
