More quotes by Madeleine L'Engle

"A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe."
"Truth is what is true, and it's not necessarily factual. Truth and fact are not the same thing. Truth does not contradict or deny facts, but it goes through and beyond facts. This is something that it is very difficult for some people to understand. Truth can be dangerous."
"Some things have to be believed to be seen."
"You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children."
"It takes too much energy to be against something unless it's really important."
