Hugh Lofting Quotes

I make no claim to be an authority on writing or illustrating for children.

If I had my way... there wouldn't be a single lion or tiger in captivity anywhere in the world. They never take to it. They're never happy. They never settle down... You can see it in their eyes.

The fact that I have been successful merely means that I can write and illustrate in my own way.

There has always been a tendency to classify children almost as a distinct species.
