Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.

Without the library, you have no civilization.

Programs like 'Jeopardy' and 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' are ridiculous. They're the stupidest shows in history. They're making us dumber. They don't give us information, they give us facts, factoids. You don't learn who Napoleon was and how he was motivated. You learn what year he was born, and when he died. That's useless.

I feel like I own all the kids in the world because, since I've never grown up myself, all my books are automatically for children.

Lone at night, when I was twelve years old, I looked at the planet Mars and I said, 'Take me home!' And the planet Mars took me home, and I never came back. So I've written every day in the last 75 years. I've never stopped writing.

Far away, in the meadow, shadows flickered in the Mirror's Maze, as if parts of someone's life, yet unborn, were trapped there, waiting to be lived.

I want your loves to be multiple. I don't want you to be a snob about anything. Anything you love, you do it.
