Zilpha Keatley Snyder Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Zilpha Keatley Snyder:

Writing for children hadn't occurred to me when I was younger, but nine years of teaching in the upper elementary grades had given me a deep appreciation of the gifts and graces that are specific to individuals with 10 or 11 years of experience as human beings.

At the age of eight I became, in my own eyes at least, a writer.

I think writing is an extension of a childhood habit - the habit of entertaining oneself by taking interesting bits of reality and building upon them.
