Deutsche Übersetzung

Das Gute eines Buches liegt darin, dass es gelesen wird. Ein Buch besteht aus Zeichen, die von anderen Zeichen sprechen, die wiederum von Dingen sprechen. Ohne ein Auge, um sie zu lesen, enthält ein Buch Zeichen, die keine Begriffe hervorbringen; deshalb ist es dumm.

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.
