Madeleine L'Engle
“The artist knows total dependence on the unseen reality. The paradox is that the creative process is incomplete unless the artist is, in the best and most proper sense of the word, a technician, one who knows the tools of his trade, has studied his techniques, is disciplined. One writer said, “If I leave my work for a day, it leaves me for three.” I think it was Artur Rubinstein who admitted, “If I don’t practice the piano for one day I know it. If I don’t practice it for two days my family knows it. If I don’t practice it for three days, my public knows it.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Madeleine L'Engle Herself: Reflections on a Writing Life

Katherine Rundell
“Children's books can teach us not just what we have forgotten, but what we have forgotten we have forgotten.”
Katherine Rundell, Why You Should Read Children's Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise

James  Patterson
“Encouraging kids to read gives them tools to safely navigate the real world, and to protect themselves. Reading helps them think critically—and it gives them the opportunity to learn about themselves and others, to create empathy and compassion. – Lorrie Roussin”
James Patterson, The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians: True Stories of the Magic of Reading

Madeleine L'Engle
“The more limited our language is, the more limited we are; the more limited the literature we give to our children, the more limited their capacity to respond, and therefore, in their turn, to create. The more our vocabulary is controlled, the less we will be able to think for ourselves. We do think in words, and the fewer words we know, the more restricted our thoughts. As our vocabulary expands, so does our power to think.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Madeleine L'Engle Herself: Reflections on a Writing Life

Jonathan Edward Durham
“Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, reacquaint yourself with the world around you, take a hard pass, and immediately go right back to reading.”
Jonathan Edward Durham
