“Monkey Beach is a moody, powerful novel full of memorable characters. Reading it was like entering a pool of emerald water to discover a haunted world shivering with loss and love, regret and sorrow, where the spirit world is as real as the human.

“...there is a celebrated aphorism insisting that the best way to live is to 'work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody is watching, and love like you've never been hurt.'...After years of hearing and reading these lines I have decided to tell the truth: the original version is wrong. There is a grave error in the wording of this adage. The correct version should go as follows: Love like you don't need the money, Work like nobody is watching, Dance like you've never been hurt. See? Doesn't that make more sense?” WayNeedsShouldYearsReadingHurtLinesLike YouDecidedAnd LoveOriginalsErrorsHearingGravesBest WayVersionsTelling The TruthAphorismAdagesWay To LiveInsistingBeen HurtWording Author:Gina Barreca
“Making fiction for children, making books for children, isn't something you do for money. It's something you do because what children read and learn and see and take in changes them and forms them, and they make the future. They make the world we're going to wind up in, the world that will be here when we're gone. Which sounds preachy (and is more than you need for a quotebyte) but it's true. I want to tell kids important things, and I want them to love stories and love reading and love finding things out. I want them to be brave and wise. So I write for them.” WorldWantNeedsWritingChildrenImportantBookStoriesKidsFormReadingSoundFictionGoneWiseWindFindingsAnd LoveImportant ThingsBraveLove StoryBe BraveLove Of ReadingChildren Book Author:Neil Gaiman
