"The fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been and never will be. It exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and especially our children. In the end, I believe, as in my case, the price we pay is well worth holding on to our dignity."

Children
"One of the problems you have when you read with kids is that once they like something they want you to read it a hundred times."
Kids
"I remember when I was a kid in school and teachers would explain things to me about what I read, and I'd think, Where did they get that? I didn't read that in there. Later you look at it and think, That's kind of an interesting idea."
Idea
"It was really written as most, I think, books are by writers - for themselves. There was something that just had to be written, in a way that it had to be written. If you know what I mean."
Books
"I received a grant from The Ford Foundation to write a book for kids about urban perception, or how people experience cities, but I kept putting off writing it. Instead I started to write what became The Phantom Tollbooth."
Experience
"I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting."
Kids
"There are good books and there are bad books, period, that's the distinction."
Books
"And when I'm writing, I write a lot anyway. I might write pages and pages of conversation between characters that don't necessarily end up in the book, or in the story I'm working on, because they're simply my way of getting to know the characters."
Conversation
"People always ask about my influences, and they cite a bunch of people I've never heard of."
People
"I think really good books can be read by anybody."
