The soul never dies and the body is never really alive.

There are 500 reasons I write for children.... Children read books, not reviews. They don't give a hoot about the critics.... They don't read to free themselves of guilt, to quench their thirst for rebellion, or to get rid of alienation. They still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff.... They don't expect their beloved writer to redeem humanity. Young as they are, they know that it is not in his power. Only the adults have such childish illusions.

Literature is the memory of humanity.

It is a general rule that when the grain of truth cannot be found, men will swallow great helpings of falsehood.

There will never be any peace in the world as long as we eat animals.

Life is God's novel. Let him write it.

All is foreseen but the choice is given.
