We Must, We Must, We Must Increase

Something Will Be Offensive To Someone In Every Book, So You've Got To Fight It.

I Do Believe That People Who Write For Children Are Deeply Connected To Their Own Childhood.

When I Started To Write, It Was The '70s, And Throughout That Decade, We Didn't Have Any Problems With Book Challenges Or Censorship.

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.

If All You Leave In The Library Is Books That You Think Speak To Everyone, What Are You Going To Have? You'd Have Nothing.
