I wanted to read immediately. The only fear was that of books coming to an end.

The fictional eye sees in, through, and around what is really there.

I had to grow up and learn to listen for the unspoken as well as the spoken-and to know a truth.

I'm a great reader that never has time to read.

it doesn t matter if it takes a long time getting there; the point is to have a destination.

Children, like animals use all their senses to discover the world. Then artists come along and discover it the same way...Or now and then we'll hear from an artisit who's never lost it.

Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories.
