It takes too much energy to be against something unless it's... - Madeleine L'Engle

"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."

"It's not my brain that's writing the book, it's these hands of mine."

"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."

"If it can be verified, we don't need faith... Faith is for that which lies on the other side of reason. Faith is what makes life bearable, with all its tragedies and ambiguities and sudden, startling joys."
