All that I hope to say in books, all that I ever hope to say, is that I love the world.

Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light.

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.

There will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you... until the day you begin to share your stories. And all at once, in the room where no one else is quite like you, the world opens itself up a little wider to make some space for you.

There ain't no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.

It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere.

The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.

There are things you can't back down on, things you gotta take a stand on. But it's up to you to decide what them things are.

You never know ahead of time what something's really going to be like.

Read the books they don't want you to. That's where the good stuff is.
