Jane Yolen Quotes

And for adults, the world of fantasy books returns to us the great words of power which, in order to be tamed, we have excised from our adult vocabularies. These words are the pornography of innocence, words which adults no longer use with other adults, and so we laugh at them and consign them to the nursery, fear masking as cynicism. These are the words that were forged in the earth, air, fire, and water of human existence, and the words are: Love. Hate. Good. Evil. Courage. Honor. Truth Picture Quote #1

Childrens books change lives. Stories pour into the hearts of children and help make them what they become Picture Quote #1

A book is a wonderful present. Though it may grow worn, it will never grow old Picture Quote #1

You know how it is: as soon as you decide to forget something, your brain comes to the conclusion that it’s the most fascinating thing in the world Picture Quote #1

Take a step, breathe in the world, give it out again in story, poem, song, art Picture Quote #1

Aren’t hidden doors the most alluring? The old stories point that out surely. Even the greatest heroes and heroines fall under the spell of a locked door Picture Quote #1

What makes a good book? Scholars and critics have been debating that question for decades. I like books that touch my head and my heart at the same time Picture Quote #1

Folklore is the perfect second skin. From under its hide, we can see all the shimmering, shadowy uncertainties of the world Picture Quote #1

Fiction cannot recite the numbing numbers, but it can be that witness, that memory. A storyteller can attempt to tell the human tale, can make a galaxy out of the chaos, can point to the fact that some people survived even as most people died. And can remind us that the swallows still sing around the smokestacks Picture Quote #1

Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up Picture Quote #1

A shadowless man is a monster, a devil, a thing of evil. A man without a shadow is soulless. A shadow without a man is a pitiable shred. Yet together, light and dark, they make a whole Picture Quote #1

Language helps develp life as surely as it reflects life. It is a most important part of our human condition Picture Quote #1

The thing I want to know is, if you tell your brain not to do stuff... and it keeps doing it anyway, does that mean your mind has a mind of its own? And if it does, then who’s in charge here, anyway? Picture Quote #1
