Story Book Quotes

• Me había sorprendido y decepcionado descubrir que los libros de cuentos habían sido escritos por personas, que los libros no eran maravillas naturales que surgían por sí solas como la hierba. Sin embargo, independientemente de su procedencia, no recuerdo ningún momento en el que no estuviera enamorado de ellos: de los libros en sí, de la cubierta, de la encuadernación y del papel en el que estaban impresos, de su olor y su peso, y de su posesión en mis brazos, capturados y llevados para mí. Aún analfabeta, estaba preparada para ellos, entregada a toda la lectura que pudiera darles.

• I think that actually the rhythmic nature of picture books and of young reader story books is a way to help kids fall in love with language and what you can do with it and how it sounds in your range. It sort of has a musicality but on the other hand they get the story and the ideas and the context of it. I think it's a way to get kids into it and I also think that when kids are around people who love books it rubs off on them.

• It's such a unique story. Book of Joshua in the Bible wasn't always my favorite book, by the way. Only some ago did I realize that this book covers a seven-year period in the history of ancient Israel in which they literally went undefeated.They did have one setback, but outside of that, they defeated over 30 kings. They recaptured the Promised Land. They did what their ancestors said they could not.

• I'm somewhat of an empath, I would say. I relate easily to ideas and stories, books, films, music. I'm moved by all of these things. Art in general. But not just art, you know?

• I literally fell into this business. I never came down one day and said, "Atticus' thought of the day...I want to be an actor!" My mom and I would always read story books out loud together and I loved doing character voices and playing with my voice.

• Children should have the joy of living in far lands, in other persons, in other times - a delightful double existence; and this joy they will find, for the most part, in their story books. Their lessons, too, history and geography, should cultivate their conceptive powers. If the children do not live in the times of his history lesson, be not at home in the climate his geography book describes, why, these lessons will fail of their purpose.

• Any man will go considerably out of his way to pick up a silver dollar; but here are golden words, which the wisest men of antiquity have uttered, and whose worth the wise of every succeeding age have assured us of; and yet we learn to read only as far as Easy Reading, the primers and classbooks, and when we leave school, the Little Reading, and story books, which are for boys and beginners; and our reading, our conversation and thinking, are all on a very low level, worthy only of pygmies and manikins.

• I do not know if Alice in Wonderland was an original story-I was, at least, no conscious imitator in writing it-but I do know that, since it came out, something like a dozen story-books have appeared, on identically the same pattern. The path I timidly explored believing myself to be 'the first that ever burst into that silent sea'-is now a beaten high-road: all the way-side flowers have long ago been trampled into the dust: and it would be courting disaster for me to attempt that style again.

• Así siguieron, y siguieron, y siguieron -en el lenguaje de los libros de cuentos- hasta que por fin las luces del pueblo aparecieron ante ellos, y la aguja de la iglesia proyectó un largo reflejo sobre la hierba del cementerio; como si fuera un reloj (¡ay, el más verdadero del mundo!) que marcaba, cualquiera que fuera la luz que brillara desde el Cielo, el paso de los días y de las semanas y de los años, mediante alguna nueva sombra sobre aquel suelo solemne.
