Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.

I think we're doing a dreadful job of educating.

My goal is to entertain myself and others.

We've gotta reinvest in space travel. We should've never left the moon.

Reading, like writing, is a creative act. If readers only bring a narrow range of themselves to the book, then they'll only see their narrow range reflected in it.

Essentially, I'm untrained, so I just go with my imagination and try to put myself as solidly as I can into the shoes of whatever person I'm going to be playing.

I was writing at a really young age, but it took me a long time to be brave enough to become a published writer, or to try to become a published writer. It's a very public way to fail. And I was kind of scared, so I started out as a ghost writer, and I wrote for other series, like Disney 'Aladdin' and 'Sweet Valley' and books like that.

There is no such thing as death; life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
