“Like every book I never wrote, it is by far the best book I have ever written.”

“I've developed a great reputation for wisdom by ordering more books than I ever had time to read, and reading more books, by far, than I learned anything useful from, except, of course, that some very tedious gentlemen have written books.”

“I cannot choose one hundred best books because I have only written five”

“The book the snowman was the best book I have ever read it had suspence durring the whole book it was AWSOME!!!”

“In every book I ever wrote the point was to do as much as you could after coming to terms with your limitations.”

“I had written a book of short stories which was published under the title of "Uncle Tom's Children". When the review of that book began to appear, I realized that I had made an awful naive mistake. I found that I had written a book which even bankers' daughters could read and weep over and feel good about. I swore to myself that if I ever wrote another book, no one would weep over it; that it would be so hard and deep that they would have to face it without the consolation of tears.”
