There is the myth that writing books for children is easier than writing books for grownups, whereas we know that truly great books for children are works of genius, whether it's 'Alice in Wonderland' or the 'Gruffalo' or 'Northern Lights'. When it's a great book, it's a great book, whether it's for children or not.

The test of civilization is its estimate of women...At some point, you grow out of being attracted...I dwell in possibility...It is not often that someone comes along who is a true...Who covets more is evermore a slave...Optimism is the madness of insisting that all is well...
