“Many fine people were out there living, people whose consciences permitted them to sleep at night despite their not having written a decent sentence that day, or ever.”
Annie Dillard (Author), The Writing Life

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

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

Dr. Seuss
“Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.”
Dr. Seuss

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
