"I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child."

"Let all of life be an unfettered howl."

"The good, the admirable reader identifies himself not with the boy or the girl in the book, but with the mind that conceived and composed that book."

"The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible"

"Our imagination flies -- we are its shadow on the earth."
