Linda Sue Park Quotes

Reading for writers is like training for athletes Picture Quote #1

With a book called ‘Keeping Score,’ I really did want to write a book about the Korean War, because I felt that it is the least understood war in the American cultural imagination. So I set out with the idea that Americans didn’t know much about the Korean War and that I was going to try to fix a tiny bit of that Picture Quote #1

Libraries hold the wisdom of the world and the stories of the ages - available to everyone, free of charge! Picture Quote #1

When I was reading books for ‘Seesaw Girl,’ I came across several references to the fact that in the 11th and 12th centuries, Korean pottery was considered the finest in the world. I liked that - the idea of a little tiny country being the best at something Picture Quote #1

I do think that part of literature’s job is to comment on and participate in the social issues of the time Picture Quote #1

I enjoy my family a lot. I have active teenagers, and they’re in soccer and choral events Picture Quote #1

I often have trouble falling asleep at night, so when I’m lying in bed I think up stories. That’s where I do a lot of my thinking. I also get a lot of ideas while I’m reading - sometimes reading someone else’s stories will make me think of one of my own Picture Quote #1

God bless Interlibrary Loan. I pay a lot of library fines. In the case of ‘A Single Shard,’ I was using books that hadn’t been checked out in 30 years, so I didn’t feel too bad Picture Quote #1

Each of my books has taken me a different length of time to write - eight months for ‘Seesaw Girl,’ eight months for ‘Shard,’ three years for ‘When My Name Was Keoko!’ The publisher takes another year and a half to work on the book, so altogether each book can take up to three or four years to publish Picture Quote #1

In my family and among Korean-Americans, there just is no occasion that people would get together without bibimbap. It’s something that people eat when they’re wanting to celebrate or have a good time with friends Picture Quote #1

All my books take a long time to research. I spend several months researching before I start writing, and in the middle of writing I often have to stop and look up stuff. At my local library, I am one of the best customers! The research takes several months Picture Quote #1

I used to sit home with my computer and write. After the Newbery, I probably spend more than half my time on the road Picture Quote #1

You burn the paper, but not the words. You silence the words, but not the thoughts. You kill the thoughts only if you kill the man. And you will find that his thoughts rise again in the minds of others - twice as strong as before Picture Quote #1

Libraries hold the wisdom of the world and the stories of the ages - available to everyone, free of charge Picture Quote #1

Most writers adore their editors, and I’m no exception Picture Quote #1

Why was it that pride and foolishness were so often close companions? Picture Quote #1

I can give advice to anyone interested in writing in one word: Read! I think it’s much more important to be a reader than to be a writer! Picture Quote #1

I want all my books to provoke some kind of response in the reader, to make them think something or feel something or both, and for that to become a part of them and work into their own lives Picture Quote #1
