“Because we are human we have a long childhood, and one of the jobs of that childhood is to sculpt our brains. We have years--about twelve of them--to draw outlines of the shape we want our sculpted brain to take. Some of the parts must be sculpted at critical times.

And I'm convinced that one of those experiences must be children's books. And they must be experienced within the early years of our long childhood.”
― E.L. Konigsburg, Talk, Talk : A Children's Book Author Speaks to Grown-Ups

“Kat held her head high as she met the King's eye.

― J.Z. Bingham, Gansevort: The King and His Court
