I wish I didn't have ever to sign my long name on the cover of a book, and I wish I could write a story that would seem absolutely true to the child who hears it and to myself.

Everything that anyone would ever look for is usually where they find it.

there seem to be times of reception and times of creation and it is perhaps difficult not to confuse the two.

We speak naturally but spend all our lives trying to write naturally.

Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere.

A child's own story is a dream, but a good story is a dream that is true for more than one child.
