Quote

A lot of times, when I go back to books I loved when I was young, I don't quite understand what it was that I loved about them. Rereading 'The Secret Garden,' I felt a lot like Mary feels when she visits her garden.

I feel I've got 10 books in me.

I have a Bible near my bed.

If kids like a picture book, they're going to read it at least 50 times. Read anything that often, and even minor imperfections start to feel like gravel in the bed.

When I was about eight, I decided that the most wonderful thing, next to a human being, was a book.

I still feel, as I did when I was six or seven, that books are simply the best way to experience a story.

Such, Polly, are your sex - part truth, part fiction; - Some thought, much whim and all a contradiction.

When I was 7, my proudest possession would have been my bookshelf 'cause I had alphabetized all of the books on my bookshelf.

The Lord has never spoken to me, but I feel Chick-fil-A has been His gift.

I have a shelf of comfort books, which I read when the world closes in on me or something untoward happens.
