“Half of seeming clever is keeping your mouth shut at the right times.”

“It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”

“Kid's books should be just as good as any other books. No. They should be held to a *higher* standard than other literature for the same reason that we take extra care with children's food.
The fact is, what you feed your kids is important, and that includes what they put in their heads as well as what they put in their bellies.”

“I have an apple that thinks its a pear. And a bun that thinks it’s a cat. And a lettuce that thinks its a lettuce."
"It’s a clever lettuce, then."
"Hardly," she said with a delicate snort. "Why would anything clever think it’s a lettuce?"
"Even if it is a lettuce?" I asked.
"Especially then," she said. "Bad enough to be a lettuce. How awful to think you are a lettuce too.”

“Todos tenemos dos mentes: una mente despierta y otra mente dormida. Nuestra mente despierta es la que piensa, habla y razona. Pero la mente dormida es más poderosa. Ella ve en lo más profundo de las cosas. Es la parte de nosotros que sueña. Lo recuerda todo. Nos proporciona intuición. Tu mente despierta no entiende la naturaleza de los nombres. Pero tu mente dormida sí. Ella sabe muchas cosas que tu mente despierta ignora.”
