Ezra Jack Keats Quotes
Text Quotes
One winter morning Peter woke up and looked out the window. Snow had fallen during the night. It covered everything as far as he could see. (Ezra Jack Keats Quotes)
To me, one of the greatest triumphs in doing a book is to tell the story as simply as possible. My aim is to imply rather than to overstate. Whenever the reader participates with his own interpretation, I feel that the book is much more successful. I write with the premise that less is more. Writing is not difficult to me. I read into a tape recorder, constantly dropping a word here and there from my manuscript until I get a minimum amount of words to say exactly what I want to say. Each time I drop a word or two, it brings me a sense of victory! (Ezra Jack Keats Quotes)
