I don't know of any wrong road to Dictionopolis, so if this road goes to Dictionopolis at all it must be the right road, and if it doesn't it must be the right road to somewhere else, because there are no wrong roads to anywhere. Do you think it will rain?

The only other thing which I think is important is: Don't write a book or start a book with the expectation of communicating a message in a very important way.

But I suppose there's a lot to see everywhere, if only you keep your eyes open.

You must never feel badly about making mistakes ... as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons.

...it's not just learning that's important. It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things that matters.

I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting

One of the problems you have when you read with kids is that once they like something they want you to read it a hundred times.
