Quote by Maureen Johnson

“I wrote the first book, and then I forgot how to write. It used to be that I would sit and write, and I would go into some other world--I could see it all. I was totally in another place. But the second it became something I had to do, something in me broke.”

“I wish I could have just skipped elementary school and junior high. Outside school, I loved talking to people and learning from them. I would spend time visiting with old people in their gardens and on their porches. I liked to play with little kids and chat with patients who came to my mother's office. Almost every day, I learned things about the natural world and animals, and I read more books on weekends and during the summer than I could possibly read at school. I believe I would have learned more if I had just been left alone to educate myself.”
