  • There are worlds beyond worlds and times beyond times, all of them true, all of them real, and all of them (as children know) penetrating each other.
  • A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader the writer learns.
  • You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for— if you are honest— you have no idea where childhood ends and maturity beings. It is all endless and all one.
  • When I was a child, love to me was what the sea is to a fish: something you swim in while you are going about the important affairs of life.
