You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.

In the house, and on the street, how many, many feet you meet.

Think and wonder, wonder and think.

Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.

Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age.

It has often been said there’s so much to be read, you never can cram all those words in your head. So the writer who breeds more words than he needs is making a chore for the reader who reads. That's why my belief is the briefer the brief is, the greater the sigh of the reader's relief is. And that's why your books have such power and strength. You publish with shorth! (Shorth is better than length.)

Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.
