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

Alastair Reynolds
“A city's only ever three hot meals away from anarchy.”
Alastair Reynolds, Terminal World

Annie Dillard
“A schedule defends from chaos and whim. A net for catching days.”
Annie Dillard, The Writing Life: The Classic Essay Collection on the Creative Process

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
