“All I liked to do when I was a kid was draw. My childhood was like my adult life: drawing pictures with my brother, putting the comics up on the glass window, and tracing the characters onto tracing paper or drawing paper and then coloring them. That and making things was all we ever did.” CharacterKidsChildhoodBrotherPaperDrawsAdultsWindowGlassesDrawingMy BrotherTracingDrawing Pictures Author:Maurice Sendak
“Maybe there are moments between any two adults in love when the age of one of them dissolves before the other's eyes, when the first refuge of the soul at its creation is laid bare and skinless as a sunbeam through a window. Innocence and vulnerability, two unmeasurable quantities...Perhaps that is the essence of the protection's intimacy, that it dwells in camouflage and justifies itself in stillness.” FirstsTwoSoulMomentsEyeAgeCreationAdultsWindowEssenceProtectionIntimacyInnocenceVulnerabilityJustifyStillnessQuantityRefugeCamouflageSunbeams Author:Marianne Wiggins
“When I have something to say that I think will be too difficult for adults, I write it in a book for children. Children are excited by new ideas; they have not yet closed the doors and windows of their imaginations. Provided the story is good... nothing is too difficult for children.” ThinkingWritingChildrenBookIdeasStoriesDifficultImaginationDoorsAdultsWindowExcitedNew IdeasChildren Book Author:Madeleine L'Engle
