Dr. Seuss

"And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed!"

"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!"

"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."

"Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks."

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."

"They say I'm old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!"

"Writing simply means no dependent clauses, no dangling things, no flashbacks, and keeping the subject near the predicate. We throw in as many fresh words we can get away with. Simple, short sentences don't always work. You have to do tricks with pacing, alternate long sentences with short, to keep it vital and alive.... Virtually every page is a cliffhanger--you've got to force them to turn it."~"

"It has often been saidthere’s so much to be read,you never can cramall those words in your head.So the writer who breedsmore words than he needsis making a chorefor the reader who reads.That's why my belief isthe briefer the brief is,the greater the sighof the reader's relief is.And that's why your bookshave such power and strength.You publish with shorth!(Shorth is better than length.)"

"Only you can control your future."

"With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street."

"It has often been saidthere’s so much to be read,you never can cramall those words in your head.So the writer who breedsmore words than he needsis making a chorefor the reader who reads.That's why my belief isthe briefer the brief is,the greater the sighof the reader's relief is.And that's why your bookshave such power and strength.You publish with shorth!(Shorth is better than length.)"

"If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too."

"Being crazy isn't enough."

"Remember me and smile, for it's better to forget than to remember me and cry."

"Be awesome! Be a book nut!"

"How did it get so late so soon?"

"Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"

"Step with care and great tact, and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act."

"Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

"If you want to catch beasts you don't see every day,You have to go places quite out of the way,You have to go places no others can get to.You have to get cold and you have too get wet, too."
