When we can play with the unself-conscious concentration of a child, this is: art: prayer: love.

If I have something I want to say that is too difficult for adults to swallow, then I write it in a book for children. Children still haven't closed themselves off with fear of the unknown, fear of revolution, or the scramble for security. They are still familiar with the inborn vocabulary of myth

You don’t know the meaning of moderation, do you, my darling? A happy medium is something I wonder if you’ll ever learn.

If you're too happy about anything, fate usually gives you a good sock in the jaw and knocks you down.

When we believe in the impossible, it becomes possible, and we can do all kinds of extraordinary things.

Maybe that's the best part of going away for a vacation-coming home again.

A good laugh heals a lot of hurts.
