Als ich ein Kind war, sahen sich die Leute einfach um und waren mäßig glücklich. heute blicken sie über die sieben Meere hinaus, begraben sich bis in die Hüfte tief im Geiste, und im großen und ganzen macht das, was sie sehen und hören, sie unerträglich traurig.

I want to see children curled up with books, finding an awareness of themselves as they discover other people's thoughts. I want them to make the connection that books are people's stories, that writing is talking on paper, and I want them to write their own stories. I'd like my books to provide that connection for them.
