“I am smiling a big adopted-orphan smile as I write this ... I still love scribbling the word - WRITER - any time on a form, questionnaire, document asks for my occupation. Fine, I write personality quizzes, I don't write about the Great Issues of the Day, but I think it's fair to say I am a writer ... ('Adopted-orphan smile', I mean, that's not bad, come on.)”

“Както и да е, вас ви интересува влиянието на книгите върху живота ми, а както вече споменах, книгата е само една. „Писма“ на Сенека. Знаете ли кой е ток? Римски философ, който пише писма до въображаеми приятели и ги поучава как да се държат. Сигурно ви звучи отегчително, но не е. Писмата му са страшно духовити, а според мен със смях човек се учи по-добре.”
― Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

“But that isn’t the only way life is. A part of the time, it’s mighty good. And a man can’t afford to waste all the good part, worrying about the bad parts. That makes it all bad…. You understand?”
― Fred Gipson, Old Yeller
