“I would read the Shel Silverstein poems, Dr. Seuss, and I noticed early on that poetry was something that just stuck in my head and I was replaying those rhymes and try to think of my own. In English, the only thing I wanted to do was poetry and all the other kids were like, "Oh, man. We have to write poems again?" and I would have a three-page long poem. I won a national poetry contest when I was in fourth grade for a poem called "Monster In My Closet.”
― Taylor Swift

“Shorth is better than length.”
― Dr. Seuss

“Okay, so you're not perfect. Who is?
Sure, Susan makes sense. But my heart doesn't care about sense. My heart never says: _Why?_ Only: _Who?_”
― Jerry Spinelli, Love, Stargirl

“If truth was a crayon and I had to name it, I would call it dinosaur skin.”
― Sarah Weeks, So B. It
