“We write by the light of every story we have ever read. ”

“The only way you can write is by the light of the bridges burning behind you.”

“Read to your childrenTwenty minutes a day;You have the time,And so do they.Read while the laundry is in the machine;Read while the dinner cooks;Tuck a child in the crook of your armAnd reach for the library books.Hide the remote,Let the computer games cool,For one day your children will be off to school;Remedial? Gifted? You have the choice;Let them hear their first talesIn the sound of your voice.Read in the morning;Read over noon;Read by the light ofGoodnight Moon.Turn the pages together,Sitting close as you'll fit,Till a small voice beside you says,"Hey, don't quit.”

“The years went by, and Mary Alice and I grew up, Slower than we wanted to, faster than we realized.”

“I read.. because one life is not enough”

“I read because one life isn't enough. ”

“If you're going to read minds, start with a simple one.”
