David Small Quotes About Character

• Writing stories, adopting other characters, making up fantastic stories and tales, this is a way of perhaps enhancing who I am. Writing stories takes a commonplace old life and makes it all somehow more interesting. And hopefully I can do that in a way that touches a lot of people in their lives, too.

• I don't like my parents; I never will. I didn't cry at either of their funerals. I haven't missed them for five seconds. I didn't - you know, our characters were so at odds with one another right from the beginning. But I do understand them now as human beings, with the understanding of an adult.

• There are just certain things you can't talk about with kids. I just totally do not believe in this sort of Bart Simpson character who infects so much of our literature and film and TV stuff nowadays, these know-it-all kids who seem to understand the hypocrisy of the adult world so thoroughly and can talk about it with such articulateness. That's bunk. Kids are kids; they're innocents, they really are. For a long time, no matter what they see, no matter what they're exposed to, they can't get it until they have developed enough.

  Interview with Austin Allen, bigthink.com. November 18, 2009.

• Russell Hoban creó una tremenda unión de personajes y filosofía. Las tramas, los personajes de juguete de cuerda, los escenarios, todos ellos trabajan juntos para apoyar básicamente una oscura visión de que el mundo es una especie de basurero. Y todos tenemos que encontrar la manera de sobrevivir en él y de convertirlo en un lugar mejor. Es un mundo en el que no tenemos mucha ayuda, aparte de la que aportamos. Es un mundo en el que el amor fraternal cuenta más que cualquier otra cosa.
