Time doesn't run backward, you know, and things that have been done can't be undone, no matter how hard you wish. ~ Mary Downing Hahn
Childrens Fiction quotes by Mary Downing Hahn
'Harry Potter' made it cool to read children's fiction, and 'Twilight' did the same for a slightly older age group. What I'm seeing is mothers and daughters who love to read the same books. ~ L.A. Weatherly
Childrens Fiction quotes by L.A. Weatherly
He never wanted to be king, and it was that very trait that made him a great king. It was the characteristic comprising all extraordinary leaders. ~ Ella Rose Carlos
Childrens Fiction quotes by Ella Rose Carlos
See, I know my life probably sounds glamorous and all, but trust me, it's not. Living with a bunch of do-gooders comes with some major drawbacks. At the top of the list is the fact that while superheroes are really great at the big things - like thwarting the forces of evil - they really stink at the little things. Like, for example, remembering their kid's birthday.
- Elliott Harkness, age 12 ~ R.L. Ullman
Childrens Fiction quotes by R.L. Ullman
Within the magic of the asking,
lives the magic to receive,
wonderfully exciting, endless possibilities! ~ Amma Sharon
Childrens Fiction quotes by Amma Sharon
I hope, that in the days, and weeks, and years to come, the question of where the dividing lines between adult and children's fiction really are, and why they blur so, and whether we truly need them - and who, ultimately, books are for - will rise up in your mind when you least expect it to, and vex you, as you also are unable, in an entirely satisfactory manner, to answer it. ~ Neil Gaiman
Childrens Fiction quotes by Neil Gaiman
But the writing we call children's fiction is not a childish thing: childish things include picking your nose and eating the contents, and tantruming at the failure to get your own way. The 45th President of America is childish. Children's fiction has childhood at its heart, which is not the same thing. ~ Katherine Rundell
Childrens Fiction quotes by Katherine Rundell
For the best part of my childhood I visited the local library three or four times a week, hunching in the stacks on a foam rubber stool and devouring children's fiction, classics, salacious thrillers, horror and sci-fi, books about cinema and origami and natural history, to the point where my parents encouraged me to read a little less. ~ David Nicholls
Childrens Fiction quotes by David Nicholls
I have to do better. I have to own up to the choices I made in life."
~Love is respect ♥~ ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Childrens Fiction quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I am not capable of love. - Felix ~ Donna Galanti
Childrens Fiction quotes by Donna Galanti
I had become an arrow of sound aimed at the most terrible creature in the city. ~ Fran Wilde
Childrens Fiction quotes by Fran Wilde
I'm naming my son just what he is. I'm a whore and he is my son. If he grows up ashamed of me, the hell with him. That's what I'm wantin' to name him, and that's what it's goin' to be. Whoreson! ~ Donald Goines
Childrens Fiction quotes by Donald Goines
Her heart now pounding, a strange feeling of combined fear and happiness invaded her. She took a deep breath. Her lungs filled with fresh air. An invigorating rush of electricity all over her body overcame her.
"So, is this how falling in love feels?" she thought.
She knew the answer. ~ Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
Childrens Fiction quotes by Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
How we, too, are still pious. - In science, convictions have no right of citizenship, so it is said and with good reason: only when they decide to descend to the modesty of a hypothesis, a provisional experimental standpoint, a regulative fiction, may they be granted admission and even a certain value in the realm of knowledge - though always with the restriction of remaining under police surveillance, under police suspicion. But, ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Childrens Fiction quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The physiological effects of an electrocution are severe and painful. Besides launching the body into violent convulsions, the electrocution of a human being causes massive destruction throughout the body. ~ Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
Childrens Fiction quotes by Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
Believe it or not, friendships are difficult to write in fiction. They can easily come across as forced, particularly if they involve too much explication and too many overt gestures of affection. ~ Steven Erikson
Childrens Fiction quotes by Steven Erikson
These were the facts. Facts were important. They separated fiction from reality, the tawdry world of Mike Longshott from the concrete spaces of Joe's world. ~ Lavie Tidhar
Childrens Fiction quotes by Lavie Tidhar
I hate to see great works of literature ghettoized, whereas others that conform to the rules, conventions, and procedures of the genre we call literary fiction get accorded greater esteem and privilege. I also have a problem with how books are marketed, with certain cover designs and typefaces. They're often stamped with an identity that has nothing to do with their effect on the reader. ~ Michael Chabon
Childrens Fiction quotes by Michael Chabon
Peter Lucas and I live in Durham but spend a great of time in North Wales, where we have a cottage in the mountains, and in Vermont, USA, with my sister - who is a children's writer married to a poet. ~ Anne Stevenson
Childrens Fiction quotes by Anne Stevenson
I think there should be more black characters, and more of all kinds of characters, in fiction. Almost all of the main characters in my novel Anansi Boys are black. And there are black characters in featured roles in all the other novels except Stardust and Coraline. (Something I was happy to see was not the case in Henry Selick's film.) ~ Neil Gaiman
Childrens Fiction quotes by Neil Gaiman
Well of course people cross genres all the time. You could have something called science-fiction-fantasy. Some galaxy far, far away and in another time with spaceships, but also dragons. And there's no rule that says you can't do that. ~ Margaret Atwood
Childrens Fiction quotes by Margaret Atwood
Suddenly, I'm struck by the magnitude of the moment. Hurtling through the air becomes freeing, not terrifying. This time last year, I was suffocating within the confines of my life. I would've done anything to escape. That my life has come full circle is as exhilarating as it is scary.
Life is for living.
For moments like this. ~ Siobhan Davis
Childrens Fiction quotes by Siobhan Davis
When some one mortal yet eternal human merely being relying on precisely nothing but the audacious love of his Maker, calls on Him to part the Heavens, well, we are undone. ~ Geoffrey Wood
Childrens Fiction quotes by Geoffrey Wood
I had no lock that could be picked. If anything, I was the landscape behind the door, and even on that day in the ruin, I was still only beginning to comprehend my own flora and fauna. ~ Adam McOmber
Childrens Fiction quotes by Adam McOmber
We have nothing left. Orphans. Castaways." She turns to me. "Childless. That is what we are. The unwanted or the un-killed. We
are together only by the wrongs done to us. There is no-one else to worry about us, to fear for our safety, or to give us comfort. ~ Bill Blais
Childrens Fiction quotes by Bill Blais
If only being a damsel in distress--and having a hero sweep in and save her--were a sensible plan. ~ Melissa Jagears
Childrens Fiction quotes by Melissa Jagears
And now, while he didn't particularly think any of these stories was a bit truer, he did realize that he didn't really know his wife at all; and that in fact the entire conception of knowing another person
of trust, of closeness, of marriage itself
while not exactly a lie since it existed someplace if only as an idea (in his parents' life, at least marginally) was still completely out-of-date, defunct, was something typifying another era, now unfortunately gone. Meeting a girl, falling in love, marrying her, moving to Connecticut, buying a fucking house, starting a life with her and thinking you really knew anything about her
the last part was a complete fiction, which made all the rest a joke. ~ Richard Ford
Childrens Fiction quotes by Richard Ford
We have to save our children. We have to break down our children's walls patiently with the understanding that they will come around slowly but surely. The silent killer of darkness will not win. We have to bring the light out of our brittle and fragile children. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Childrens Fiction quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
No man ever freely surrendered a portion of his own liberty for the sake of the public good; such a chimera appears only in fiction. If it were possible, we would each prefer that the pacts binding others did not bind us; every man sees himself as the centre of all the world's affairs. ~ Cesare Beccaria
Childrens Fiction quotes by Cesare Beccaria
Generalities are intellectually necessary evils. ~ Aldous Huxley
Childrens Fiction quotes by Aldous Huxley
THAT'S IT!" Terminus cried. "That's AGAINST THE RULES!"
Polybotes frowned, obviously confused that he was being told off by a statue. "What are you?" he growled. "Shut up!"
He pushed the statue over and turned back to Percy.
"Now I'm MAD!" Terminus shrieked. "I'm strangling you. Feel that? Those are my hands around your neck, you big bully. Get over here! I'm going to head-butt you so hard
~ Rick Riordan
Childrens Fiction quotes by Rick Riordan
Certainly, light fiction exists and encompasses mysteries or second-class romance novels, books that are read on the beach, whose only aim is to entertain. These books are not concerned with style or creativity - instead they are successful because they are repetitive and follow a template that readers enjoy. ~ Umberto Eco
Childrens Fiction quotes by Umberto Eco
Desire had never done anything good in her life, so she had divorced it years ago. ~ Talena Winters
Childrens Fiction quotes by Talena Winters
He's probably somewhere right now eating a Big-N-Tasty. The man has a coffee pot, a microwave, AND a mini refrigerator in his classrooom. If you plan on having a conversation with him, I suggest you do it over the phone. Otherwise, you'll need a motorcycle helmet just to avoid the Snickers shrapnel flying from his mouth! ~ Piper Faust
Childrens Fiction quotes by Piper Faust
The pure perfect truth of life is that we are here to create heaven on earth, to bring the perfection of what is above down to us, and in doing so to become transformed as human being into something great and beautiful. ~ Kathleen McGowan
Childrens Fiction quotes by Kathleen McGowan
What is there beyond the sky?' I asked my mother.
'Paradise.'
'What does it look like?'
'Like children's dreams. ~ Refaat Alareer
Childrens Fiction quotes by Refaat Alareer
Centuries of navel-gazing. Millennia of masturbation. Plato to Descartes to Dawkins to Rhanda. Souls and zombie agents and qualia. Kolmogorov complexity. Consciousness as Divine Spark. Consciousness as electromagnetic field. Consciousness as functional cluster.

I explored it all.

Wegner thought it was an executive summary. Penrose heard it in the singing of caged electrons. Nirretranders said it was a fraud; Kazim called it leakage from a parallel universe. Metzinger wouldn't even admit it existed. The AIs claimed to have worked it out, then announced they couldn't explain it to us. Gödel was right after all: no system can fully understand itself.

Not even the synthesists had been able to rotate it down. The load-bearing beams just couldn't take the strain.

All of them, I began to realize, had missed the point. All those theories, all those drugdreams and experiments and models trying to prove what consciousness was: none to explain what it was good for. None needed: obviously, consciousness makes us what we are. It lets us see the beauty and the ugliness. It elevates us into the exalted realm of the spiritual. Oh, a few outsiders - Dawkins, Keogh, the occasional writer of hackwork fiction who barely achieved obscurity - wondered briefly at the why of it: why not soft computers, and no more? Why should nonsentient systems be inherently inferior? But they never really raised their voices above the crowd. The value of what we are was ~ Peter Watts
Childrens Fiction quotes by Peter Watts
Closed head trauma is about as much fun as nude paintballing. ~ D.C. Farmer
Childrens Fiction quotes by D.C. Farmer
On occasion we stumble upon what seems to be a truth. Compared to the surrounding blackness, it sparkles and dazzles our eyes. But are these actually truths? Are our eyes really feasting upon light? Or just patches of grey? ~ Roy L. Pickering Jr.
