I don't think people change; electronics change, the things we have change, but the way we live doesn't change.

Life goes on if you're one of the lucky ones.

Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.

I wanted to write what I remembered to be true.

Everybody wants to share life and be in love and be loved.

At the time I wrote 'Forever,' I had a 14-year-old daughter, and she was reading a lot of books about young love.

The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.

It's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written.

Madeleine L'Engle's 'A Wrinkle in Time' has been targeted by censors for promoting New Ageism, and Mark Twain's 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' for promoting racism. Gee, where does that leave the kids?
