Matilda said, Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog. Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy it's unbelievable ... ~ Roald Dahl
Children Book quotes by Roald Dahl
This year, more people will use cocaine than will read a book to their children. ~ Michael Scott
Children Book quotes by Michael Scott
Reading well makes children more interesting both to themselves and others, a process in which they will develop a sense of being separate and distinct selves. ~ Harold Bloom
Children Book quotes by Harold Bloom
With a few exceptions, the critics of children's books are remarkably lenient souls ... Most of us assume there is something goodin every child; the critics go from this to assume there is something good in every book written for a child. It is not a sound theory. ~ Katharine Sergeant Angell White
Children Book quotes by Katharine Sergeant Angell White
Many years from now when your children ask what New York City was like just after 9/11, this will be the book you give them in response. It's an exquisite novel full of heart, soul, passion and intelligence, and it's the one this great New York author was born to write. ~ Lee Child
Children Book quotes by Lee Child
Books, the children of the brain. ~ Jonathan Swift
Children Book quotes by Jonathan Swift
Experts generally agree that taking all opportunities to read books and other material aloud to children is the best preparation for their learning to read. The pleasures of being read to are far more likely to strengthen a child's desire to learn to read than are repetitions of sounds, alphabet drills, and deciphering uninteresting words. ~ Lilian Katz
Children Book quotes by Lilian Katz
If children are studying the 20th century, I'm in their text books. ~ Paul McCartney
Children Book quotes by Paul McCartney
Children start off reading in books about lions and giraffes and so on, but they also-if theyre lucky enough and have reasonable privileges of any human being-are able to go into a garden and turn over stone and see a worm and see a slug and see an ant. ~ David Attenborough
Children Book quotes by David Attenborough
The taste for books was an early one. As a child he was sometimes found at midnight by a page still reading. They took his taper away, and he bred glow-worms to serve his purpose. They took the glow-worms away and he almost burnt the house down with a tinder. ~ Virginia Woolf
Children Book quotes by Virginia Woolf
And if you are a parent, introduce your children to their neighborhood library. It will give them a real sense of independence to have their own library card and enjoy borrowing books. ~ Sarah Jessica Parker
Children Book quotes by Sarah Jessica Parker
Those of us who are blamed when old for reading childish books were blamed when children for reading books too old for us. ~ C.S. Lewis
Children Book quotes by C.S. Lewis
I've always said that Watership Down is not a book for children. I say: it's a book, and anyone who wants to read it can read it. ~ Richard Adams
Children Book quotes by Richard Adams
I look at [books] as a child looks at cakes - with glittering eyes and a watering mouth, imagining the pleasure that awaits him. ~ Elizabeth Gaskell
Children Book quotes by Elizabeth Gaskell
If my books can help children become readers, then I feel I have accomplished something important. ~ Roald Dahl
Children Book quotes by Roald Dahl
I have always loved books, and as a mother, I wanted to share my passion for reading with my children. ~ Aerin Lauder
Children Book quotes by Aerin Lauder
Normal people bring children into the world; we novelists bring books. We are condemned to put our whole lives into them, even though they hardly ever thank us for it. We are condemned to die in their pages and sometimes even to let our books be the ones who, in the end, will take our lives. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Children Book quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I didn't write with a target audience in mind. What excited me was how much I would enjoy writing about Harry. I never thought about writing for children - children's books chose me. I think if it is a good book anyone will read it. ~ J.K. Rowling
Children Book quotes by J.K. Rowling
Klaus sighed, and opened a book, and as at so many other times when the middle Baudelaire child did not want to think about his circumstances, he began to read. ~ Lemony Snicket
Children Book quotes by Lemony Snicket
The lesson [comic books] taught children- or this child, at any rate- was perhaps the unintentionally radical truth that exceptionality was the greatest and most heroic of values; that those who were unlike the crowd were to be treasured the most lovingly; and that this exceptionality was a treasure so great that it had to be concealed, in ordinary life, beneath what the comic books called a 'secret identity'. ~ Salman Rushdie
Children Book quotes by Salman Rushdie
Books are like your children. They take nine months to write; the manuscript weighs six pounds and ... you send them out into the world and hope that some day they'll send back money. ~ Edna Buchanan
Children Book quotes by Edna Buchanan
As parents, the most important thing we can do
is read to our children early and often. Reading
is the path to success in school and life. When
children learn to love books, they learn to love
learning. ~ Laura Bush
Children Book quotes by Laura Bush
Composition is as natural as jumping and running to children who have been allowed due use of books. ~ Charlotte Mason
Children Book quotes by Charlotte Mason
Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold. ~ Tryon Edwards
Children Book quotes by Tryon Edwards
Research shows us that children who are read to from a very early age are more likely to begin reading themselves at an early age. They're more likely to excell in school. They're more likely to graduate secondary school and go to college. ~ Laura Bush
Children Book quotes by Laura Bush
We have never been so rich in books. But there has never been a generation when there is so much twaddle in print for children. ~ Charlotte Mason
Children Book quotes by Charlotte Mason
When I stopped performing for 16 years and lived in Michigan and was married and raising my children, I wrote about four or five books. I haven't published them. I just haven't gotten around to it for several reasons. ~ Patti Smith
Children Book quotes by Patti Smith
My ex-student, Idit Harel, who wrote a book, "Children Designs," has a documented story of a kid who was very shy, isolated and didn't talk much to other kids. She was a little overweight, and the other kids looked down on her for that reason.But then she made a discovery about how to do something on the computer. The discovery was picked up by other kids, and within a few weeks there was a total transformation. This kid was now in demand. And that changed her feeling about herself. ~ Seymour Papert
Children Book quotes by Seymour Papert
I get over a hundred letters a day from all over the world, from children and parents, and it's a wonder I ever have time to write books, let alone speak! ~ Enid Blyton
Children Book quotes by Enid Blyton
But that's not how most of the people mentioned in this book became wealthy. Most of them became wealthy by being well connected and crooked. And they are creating a society in which they can commit hugely damaging economic crimes with impunity, and in which only children of the wealthy have the opportunity to become successful. ~ Charles Ferguson
Children Book quotes by Charles Ferguson
I remember, as a child, the confusion of not knowing what this place was where I was supposed to spend the night: it's a disquieting experience for a child. And what I would do was quickly unpack my books and go back to a book I knew well and make sure the same text and the same illustrations were there. ~ Alberto Manguel
Children Book quotes by Alberto Manguel
If I had to pick a single word to describe what my pictures are all about, I would say 'secrets.' As a child I always had a secret world and my favorite book was A Secret Garden. ~ Joyce Tenneson
Children Book quotes by Joyce Tenneson
As a child, I felt that books were holy objects, to be caressed, rapturously sniffed, and devotedly provided for. I gave my life to them. I still do. I continue to do what I did as a child; dream of books, make books and collect books. ~ Maurice Sendak
Children Book quotes by Maurice Sendak
Whoever is able to write a book and does not, it is as if he has lost a child ~ Nachman Of Breslov
Children Book quotes by Nachman Of Breslov
Eric Schlosser's book on the economy and strategies of the fast-food business should be read by anyone who likes to take their children to fast-food restaurants. I shall certainly never do that again. He employs a long, cold burn, a quiet and impassioned accumulation of detail, with calm, wit and clarity. ( ... ) Fast Food Nation is witness to the rigour and seriousness of the best American journalism, readable, reliable and extremely carefully done. ~ Adam Nicolson
Children Book quotes by Adam Nicolson
I have written a few children's books. The first book that I wrote was for children. It was called 'The Package', and it was a mystery story in pictures. It had no words. ~ Laurie Anderson
Children Book quotes by Laurie Anderson
I think the Harry books are actually very moral, but some people just object to witchcraft being mentioned in a children's book. ~ J.K. Rowling
Children Book quotes by J.K. Rowling
I don't know how to write a children's book. ~ Maurice Sendak
Children Book quotes by Maurice Sendak
Go little book, thy self present, As child whose parent is unkent: To him that is the president Of noblesse and of chivalry, And if that Envy bark at thee, As sure it will, for succour flee. ~ Edmund Spenser
Children Book quotes by Edmund Spenser
After the children grew up, I began to focus on my writing. My first books were part of a trilogy ... The 'Wind Dance' trilogy. ~ Iris Johansen
Children Book quotes by Iris Johansen
We need to actually teach kids that books aren't like broccoli. You don't have to eat every bit on your plate. It's like secret adult's business. It's the secret we never, ever tell our children. No adult ever read a book because it's good for us. We read because it is fun. ~ Jackie French
Children Book quotes by Jackie French
I think parents should know what their children are reading, and if they truly object, they should tell their kids why, rather than summarily removing a book from their possession. ~ Ellen Hopkins
Children Book quotes by Ellen Hopkins
Fifty seven million children across the world don't want an iPhone, Xbox or chocolates. They want a book and pen. ~ Malala Yousafzai
Children Book quotes by Malala Yousafzai
No matter what his rank or position may be, the lover of books is the richest and the happiest of the children of men. ~ John Alfred Langford
Children Book quotes by John Alfred Langford
I've chosen Peter Pan by JM Barrie as my favourite children's book. ~ Tessa Jowell
Children Book quotes by Tessa Jowell
Second, there are so many magical places in books that you can't go to, like Hogwarts and Middle Earth, so I wanted to set a story in a place where children can actually go. ~ Cornelia Funke
Children Book quotes by Cornelia Funke
At every hour of every day, I can tell you on which page of which book each school child in Italy is studying. ~ Benito Mussolini
Children Book quotes by Benito Mussolini
I was read to as a small child, I read on my own as soon as I could, and I recall being more or less overwhelmed again and again - if not by what the books actually said, by what they suggested, what they helped me to imagine. ~ Marilynne Robinson
Children Book quotes by Marilynne Robinson
No book has yet been written in praise of a woman who let her husband and children starve or suffer while she invented even the most useful things, or wrote books, or expressed herself in art, or evolved philosophic systems ~ Anna Garlin Spencer
Children Book quotes by Anna Garlin Spencer
I was never allowed to read the popular American children's books of my day because, as my mother said, the children spoke bad English without the author's knowing it. ~ Edith Wharton
Children Book quotes by Edith Wharton
Only for you, children of doctrine and learning, have we written this work. Examine this book, ponder the meaning we have dispersed in various places and gathered again; what we have concealed in one place we have disclosed in another, that it may be understood by your wisdom. ~ Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa
Children Book quotes by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa
For me, marriage should be about partnership. How can you love someone you have to take care of like a child all the time? A wife is supposed to be a partner, and yes partners help each other when they need it, but they are supposed to be together because they want to in my book, not because one needs the other. ~ Lynsay Sands
Children Book quotes by Lynsay Sands
Vacation time offers the unique opportunity to pause before the thought-provoking spectacles of nature, a wonderful "book" within reach of everyone, adults and children. In contact with nature, a person rediscovers his correct dimension, rediscovers himself as a creature, small but at the same time unique, with a "capacity for God" because interiorly he is open to the Infinite. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Children Book quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
My aim was to create armaments to protect the borders of my motherland. It is not my fault that the Kalashnikov became very well-known in the world; that it was used in many troubled places. I think the policies of these countries are to blame, not the designers. Man is born to protect his family, his children, his wife. But I want you to know that apart from armaments, I have written three books in which I try to educate our youth to show respect for their families, for old people, for history. ~ Mikhail Kalashnikov
Children Book quotes by Mikhail Kalashnikov
Pat Robertson said the feminist movement was just a bunch of lesbians who wanted to leave their husbands and kill their children. I quoted him in my book. It's a fantastic statement. ~ John Shelby Spong
Children Book quotes by John Shelby Spong
We were little children, four or five years old, but they were all around the house and they made us look epic, like we were part of some story being told. My mom would have this woman come to our house and take photos of us. She did a photo book of us as well when I was one. I still have it. ~ Jeff Vespa
Children Book quotes by Jeff Vespa
For some reason, I never felt the need to have kids. My wife feels the same. We don't feel a void. I don't think they would give my life meaning. I do think of the books as my children, though. Whatever is inside of me, I put into my books. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Children Book quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
So much for the right books; the right use of them is another matter. The children must enjoy the book. The ideas it holds must each make that sudden, delightful impact upon their minds, must cause that intellectual stir, which mark the inception of an idea. ~ Charlotte Mason
Children Book quotes by Charlotte Mason
A book is so much a part of oneself that in delivering it to the public one feels as if one were pushing one's own child out into the traffic. ~ Quentin Bell
Children Book quotes by Quentin Bell
The three things that kept me sane as a child were bikes, books, and soccer ~ Mal Peet
Children Book quotes by Mal Peet
In life, as in Chess, ones own Pawns block ones way. A mans very wealth, ease, leisure, children, books, which should help him to win, more often checkmate him ~ Charles Buxton
Children Book quotes by Charles Buxton
When I was a child, it was a matter of pride that I could plow through a Nancy Drew story in one afternoon, and begin another in the evening ... I was probably trying to impress the librarians who kept me supplied with books. ~ Kathleen Norris
Children Book quotes by Kathleen Norris
Regular reading of and talking about the Book of Mormon invite the power to resist temptation and to produce feelings of love within our families. And discussions about the doctrines and principles in the Book of Mormon provide opportunities for parents to observe their children, to listen to them, to learn from them, and to teach them. ~ David A. Bednar
Children Book quotes by David A. Bednar
Every book is different with it's own personality just like children. ~ Cassandra Clare
Children Book quotes by Cassandra Clare
If you ask, you're a boor. Just accept it. Hillry Clinton loves children! She helped children! She village'd children. She raised children. She wrote a book about it. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Children Book quotes by Rush Limbaugh
I write my own stories. I like telling stories to little children. I think the good thing about stories is they carry you to another place which you've never been. And you feel like you're just enveloped by the book and the characters. ~ Georgie Henley
Children Book quotes by Georgie Henley
A book, once it is printed and published, becomes individual. It is by its publication as decisively severed from its author as in parturition a child is cut off from its parent. The book "means" thereafter, perforce, - both grammatically and actually, - whatever meaning this or that reader gets out of it. ~ James Branch Cabell
Children Book quotes by James Branch Cabell
When I was young I longed to write a great novel that should win me fame. Now that I am getting old my first book is written to amuse children ~ L. Frank Baum
Children Book quotes by L. Frank Baum
I started writing as a child. But I didn't think of myself actually writing until I was in college. And I had gone to Africa as a sophomore or something - no, maybe junior - and wrote a book of poems. And that was my beginning. I published that book. ~ Alice Walker
Children Book quotes by Alice Walker
There is only one positive role of the Nobel prize
it creates some common way to understand a writer. I cannot say, that I like this situation, but that's the way it goes. The books are being born and then walk around the world, just as children do. ~ Stanislaw Lem
Children Book quotes by Stanislaw Lem
I'm also very hopeful to continue my literary journey into the realm of children's books. To be able to read my kids a children's book that was inspired by them would be everything! ~ Trista Sutter
Children Book quotes by Trista Sutter
From the time I began to read, as a child, I loved to feel their heft in my hand and the warm spot caused by their intimate weight in my lap; I loved the crisp whisper of a page turning, the musky odor of old paper and the sharp inky whiff of new pages. Leather bindings sent me into ecstasy. I even loved to gaze at a closed book and daydream about the possibilities inside. ~ Rita Dove
Children Book quotes by Rita Dove
It's enough for you to do it once for a few men to remember you. But if you do it year after year, then many people remember you and they tell it to their children, and their children and grandchildren remember and, if it concerns books, they can read them. And if it's good enough, it will last as long as there are human beings. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Children Book quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
For children: I'm writing a picture book about the Big Dipper and a novel about a cricket, a firefly and a vole. For grownups: I'm writing poems. ~ Kate DiCamillo
Children Book quotes by Kate DiCamillo
A house without books is like a room without windows. ~ Horace Mann
Children Book quotes by Horace Mann
I remember when I was young, in the north, they went to the grammar school little children: they came from thence great lubbers: always learning, and little profiting: learning without book everything, understanding within the book little or nothing. ~ Roger Ascham
Children Book quotes by Roger Ascham
It struck me that when we read picture books to children, we parents, and people as a whole, do not appear in them very much, and that they are more constructed to be a world of children and animals. ~ Mamoru Hosoda
Children Book quotes by Mamoru Hosoda
As a child, we couldn't afford holidays overseas, so instead I travelled through books. I was inspired by Dr Dolittle and Tarzan. ~ Jane Goodall
Children Book quotes by Jane Goodall
I always knew that I wanted to live with books, even as a child, because we traveled a lot. Home was the book to which I came back every evening. ~ Alberto Manguel
Children Book quotes by Alberto Manguel
Let there be wicked kings and beheadings, battles and dungeons, giants and dragons, and let the villans be soundly killed at the end of the book. I think it is possible that by confining your child to the blameless stories of life in which nothing at all alarming ever happens, you would fail to banish the terrors, and would succeed in banishing all that can ennoble them or make them endurable. ~ C.S. Lewis
Children Book quotes by C.S. Lewis
As a child I read all kinds of stuff, whether it was 'Asterix and Obelix' and 'Tin Tin' comic books, or 'Lord of the Rings,' or Frank Herbert's sci-fi. Or 'The Wind in the Willows.' Or 'Charlotte's Web.' ~ Mohsin Hamid
Children Book quotes by Mohsin Hamid
I grew, a happy, healthy child in a bright world of illustrated books, clean sand, orange trees, friendly dogs, sea vistas and smiling faces. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Children Book quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
When I was little I used to wish I could talk to the illustrators because I wanted to discuss something about the books. With so many of the other art forms that children experience, such as movies and television, they don't get to control the pace. ~ Jan Brett
Children Book quotes by Jan Brett
There was an author who titled his books by days of the weeks and another one that used colors. Then there was Edward Gorey who wrote the book The Gashlycrumb Tinies, about the untimely death of 26 Victorian children, each representing a letter of the alphabet. I thought what a great way to link the titles. ~ Sue Grafton
Children Book quotes by Sue Grafton
Reading makes all other learning possible. We have to get books into our children's hands early and often. ~ Barack Obama
Children Book quotes by Barack Obama
My best ideas come to me at unexpected moments, like when I'm reading children's books to my kids (the pictures inspire me), shopping, driving somewhere, seeing different things. ~ Mary Engelbreit
Children Book quotes by Mary Engelbreit
It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. ~ Lois Lowry
Children Book quotes by Lois Lowry
The best and most popular novelists do not, as a rule, have children in their books at all, and this is wise. Parents are about the only people who are interested in children, and they merely in their own ones. ~ E.M. Delafield
Children Book quotes by E.M. Delafield
Our children, Edward, Agnes, and little Mary, promise well; their education, for the time being, is chiefly committed to me; and they shall want no good thing that a mother's care can give.
Our modest income is amply sufficient for our requirements; and by practising the economy we learnt in harder times, and never attempting to imitate our richer neighbours, we manage not only to enjoy comfort and contentment ourselves, but to have every year something to lay by for our children, and something to give to those who need it.
And now I think I have said sufficient. ~ Anne Bronte
Children Book quotes by Anne Bronte
Keeping libraries open, giving access to all children to all books is vital to our nation's sovereignty. ~ Karin Slaughter
Children Book quotes by Karin Slaughter
Successive generations of middle-class parents used to foist their own favourite books on their children. But some time in the late Eighties it began to wane - not because children had lost interest in adorable animals but because most of it was available on useful, pacifying video. ~ Peter York
Children Book quotes by Peter York
My name is Jarrett Krosoczka, and I write and illustrate books for children for a living. So I use my imagination as my full-time job. ~ Jarrett J. Krosoczka
Children Book quotes by Jarrett J. Krosoczka
Anyone can tell you that how you're raised as a child has a great deal to do with how you behave as an adult and whether you have complexes or whether you need to prove yourself or all that kind of stuff and yet the mother in a traditional family who has raised a child never makes it in the history books. ~ Rita Dove
Children Book quotes by Rita Dove
It actually got me upset reading about adopted children. They become junkies or criminals or actors. I wanted to write a book from the children's point of view. ~ Michael Nyqvist
Children Book quotes by Michael Nyqvist
Children should transcribe favourite passages.
A certain sense of possession and delight may be added to this exercise if children are allowed to choose for transcription their favorite verse in one poem or another ... But a book of their own, made up of their own chosen verses, should give them pleasure. ~ Charlotte Mason
Children Book quotes by Charlotte Mason
I used to think when I had children that somebody else had the rule book and they hadn't given it to me, and everybody else knew how to do it right except me. I find the same thing in writing: you think that everybody knows what they're doing and that you don't. ~ Danielle Steel
Children Book quotes by Danielle Steel
Everywhere I go, kids walk around not with books under their arms, but with radios up against their heads. Children can't read or write, but they can memorize whole albums. ~ Jesse Jackson
Children Book quotes by Jesse Jackson
I'm one of those very lucky people who absolutely love what they do for a living. There is no career better suited to my eccentricities, strengths, and passions than that of a children's book author. ~ Mary Pope Osborne
Children Book quotes by Mary Pope Osborne
I feel like I own all the kids in the world because, since I've never grown up myself, all my books are automatically for children. ~ Ray Bradbury
Children Book quotes by Ray Bradbury
A book consists of two layers: on top, the readable layer ... and underneath, a layer that was inaccessible. You only sense its existence in a moment of distraction from the literal reading, the way you see childhood through a child. It would take forever to tell what you see, and it would be pointless. ~ Marguerite Duras
Children Book quotes by Marguerite Duras
