Maurice Sendak
“Grown-ups desperately need to feel safe, and then they project onto the kids. But what none of us seem to realize is how smart kids are. They don’t like what we write for them, what we dish up for them, because it’s vapid, so they’ll go for the hard words, they’ll go for the hard concepts, they’ll go for the stuff where they can learn something. Not didactic things, but passionate things.”
Maurice Sendak

Arthur C. Clarke
“I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here.”
Arthur C. Clarke

Will McIntosh
“I’m just–” She wanted to say “not in the mood,” but that was not only a cliché but a vast understatement. She was dead.”
Will McIntosh, Love Minus Eighty

Cynthia Lord
“When you say something stupid, gloss over it with superfast talking and maybe no one’ll notice.”
Cynthia Lord, Rules

Nick Hornby
“Read what you enjoy, not what bores you.”
Nick Hornby
