Childhood Books Quotes

I have been a fan of comic books since childhood Picture Quote #1

My brother and I spent our childhood in movie theaters screaming. I decided early on that that was the epitome of entertainment. I’m always trying for that same level of adrenaline in my books Picture Quote #1

Race, class, childhood experience, the books I found on my mother’s bookshelf, the albums I found in my father’s basement - these things are all part of who I am and will always be a part of my work Picture Quote #1

My parents were wonderful people, but there were terrible rows between them, and at times I found the atmosphere at home unbearable. The Arthur Ransome books gave me an alternative childhood and the tools to escape Picture Quote #1

I can’t divorce myself from my childhood. I try to write as much fiction as I possibly can, but there are so many things that are touchstones of my childhood like being on the swim team and playing soccer and the particularities of sports season and environments that make their way into my books Picture Quote #1

Childhood is just this amazing place, and in my books, I was trying to express my concern about childhood being eroded. You have kids’ TV programs being interrupted by terrorist attacks, and kids are exposed to so much these days Picture Quote #1

The women in the room chatted about love, about childhood, about losing parents, about Mr. Spock, about good books they’d read. They mothered each other Picture Quote #1

Much of our adult morality, in books and out of them, has a stuffiness unworthy of childhood. Our grown-up conclusions often rest on perilously soft bottom Picture Quote #1

The concentration in my book on Marie Antoinette’s childhood and on her family influences. It is surprising how some books actually start with her arrival in France! Picture Quote #1

I loved books; I read my childhood away. I was more interested in my interior world Picture Quote #1
