I Was Sick All The Time, One

I Have To Go With What Comes Naturally To Me. Fantasy Isn't My Thing. I Did Enjoy The Oz Books When I Was Growing Up And Certainly My Grandson And I Read Harry Potter Together. You Write What You Can As Well As You Can.

I Can't Let Safety And Security Become The Focus Of My Life.

Determination And Hard Work Are As Important As Talent.

If No One Speaks Out For [young Readers], If They Don’t Speak Out For Themselves, All They’ll Get For Required Reading Will Be The Most Bland Books Available. Instead Of Finding The Information They Need At The Library, Instead Of Finding Novels That Illuminate Life, They Will Find Only Those Materials To Which Nobody Could Possibly Object... In This Age Of Censorship I Mourn The Loss Of Books That Will Never Be Written, I Mourn The Voices That Will Be Silenced — Writers’ Voices, Teachers’ Voices, Students’ Voices — And All Because Of Fear.

Each Of Us Must Confront Our Own Fears, Must Come Face To Face With Them. How We Handle Our Fears Will Determine Where We Go With The Rest Of Our Lives. To Experience Adventure Or To Be Limited By The Fear Of It.
