“I don't write from dreams because I don't remember mine, but I had a fragment of an image left about twins, whose father was telling them how their lives were going to go for the next eight years. I wrote a scene about that, and then another and then another and then another, and after five months I had 732 pages.” WritingYearsDreamRememberNextFatherLeftFiveMinesMonthsScenePagesEightTwinsFragments Author:Tamora Pierce
“As for my father, few souls are less troubled. He can be simply pleased with us, pleased that we exist, and, from the vantage point of his wondrously serene old age, he contemplates our lives almost as if they were books he can dip into whenever he wants. His back pages, perhaps.” IfsWantBookSoulAgeFatherOur LivesPagesOld AgeContemplatingSereneDipVantage Point Book:Shaking a Leg: Collected Writings Source: Shaking a Leg: Collected Writings
“When I was little, we had a Golden Book that had all these Disney characters in one portrait on the first page. My dad used to read from it every night.

“Grampa took Mary Ellen inside away from the crowd. "Now, child, I am going to show you what my father showed me, and his father before," he said quietly. He spooned the honey onto the cover of one of her books. "Taste," he said, almost in a whisper. . . . "There is such sweetness inside of that book too!" he said thoughtfully. "Such things...adventure, knowledge and wisdom. But these things do not come easily. You have to pursue them. Just like we ran after the bees to find their tree, so you must also chase these things through the pages of a book!” ChildrenSaidBookShowsFatherTreeAdventureTastePagesCrowdsPursueRanHoneyMaryBeesSweetnessKnowledge And Wisdom Author:Patricia Polacco

“You cannot open the pages of the New Testament without realizing that one of the things that makes it so 'new,' in every way, is that here men and women call God 'Father.'

“Then, in my most careful handwriting, come all the details it would be a crime to forget. Lady licking Prim's cheek. My father's laugh. Peeta's father with the cookies. The colour of Finnick's eyes. What Cinna could do with a length of silk. Boggs reprogramming the Holo. Rue poised on her toes, arms slightly extended, like a bird about to take flight. On and on. We seal the pages with salt water and promises to live well to make their death count.” WellsWould BeEyeFatherWaterForgetLaughingCrimeArmsPromisePagesBirdDetailsCarefulFlightColourLengthSaltCheeksToesCookiesSealsSilkLive WellPeetaHandwritingLickingRueFinnickCinnaSalt Water Author:Suzanne Collins
