I want to Live! Not Die, Not Hide, LIVE!  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Jen, we did it. Everyone’s free now  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) That porch is a happy-looking place, and my father - burdened, stoop-shouldered, cadaverously thin - doesn’t seem to belong on it.  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) And yet, I felt a surge of exhilaration just thinking about that night. Not just because I’d met the prince and fallen in love and started on my course toward happiness ever after, but because I’d made something happen. I’d done something everybody had told me I couldn’t. I’d changed my life all by myself. Having a fairy godmother would have ruined everything.  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) I think I learned a lot from reading in general - even from reading badly written books  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Eventually the bad stuff I’m writing turns into better stuff. Other times, I’ve just walked away from what I was working on, and figured I’d have a better perspective when I came back to it.  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Amazing, Yetta thought. Back home I couldn’t have chosen my own husband. And here I’m thinking about choosing presidents, governors, mayors, laws  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) I like playing around with the words; I love it when I feel like I’ve picked the exact right word to describe whatever it is I’m trying to describe  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) There’s hope around the corner  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Hope doesn’t mean anything... Action’s the only thing that counts  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) There is nothing more valuable than the printed word  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Fail big if you have to, but go down trying  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) I am not just what I remember. I am also what I dream  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Bitter is a bad way to live!  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Maybe everyone is just waiting for someone else to save them  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) I started trying to write when I was in second or third grade  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Eventually the bad stuff I’m writing turns into better stuff. Other times, I’ve just walked away from what I was working on, and figured I’d have a better perspective when I came back to it  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) After I’ve sent my revised draft to my agent and editor, they suggest more improvement sand again, this revision phase can take anywhere from a few hours to a few months  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) A ssure you, the more I travel through time, the more I witness, the more I realize that there are things that are both strange and wonderful, far beyond human comprehension  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) I like to know what I’m celebrating before I put on a party hat  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) I can tell you that you will have your hearts broken more by the people you love than by the people you hate. But you must still dare to love. The rewards are worth far more than the risks  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) I like the fact that kids are willing to be imaginative and go along with me when I’m telling strange tales  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Unlike my mother, my father does not cry quietly. His wails roll out like a wave of pain, and I scramble to roll up my window. My mother cannot hear that. I cannot bear to hear it myself. I am not used to my father’s crying. I’ve had no time to harden my heart against him  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) The sudden silence is horrifying, and it seems to catch my mother off guard. A tiny whimper escapes her, the sound amplified in the stillness. Surely, my father hears her now; surely he and I can’t go on pretending she isn’t crying  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) And yet, I felt a surge of exhilaration just thinking about that night. Not just because I’d met the prince and fallen in love and started on my course toward happiness ever after, but because I’d made something happen. I’d done something everybody had told me I couldn’t. I’d changed my life all by myself. Having a fairy godmother would have ruined everything  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) Governments will rise, and governments will fall, and man will do evil to man, and all we can do is turn our hearts to good  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) I wish, peevishly, that he didn’t know anything about how soldiers sleep, how they protect their fellow soldiers. It would be nicer if I could share the cloaks warmth with him, if we could lie with our faces together, whispering into the night  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) ... even the most independent people sometimes needed help. And if I’d learned nothing else from my life thus far, it was that you don’t always end up where you think you’re going  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) There’s something about each of my books that I’m really proud of, and there’s something about each of my books that I cringe over  (Margaret Haddix Quotes) The deadlines are much, much longer with books. When I was a reporter, a lot of times I’d come in at 8:30 a.m., get an assignment right away, interview somebody, turn the story in by 9:30, and have the finished story in the paper that landed on my desk by noon  (Margaret Haddix Quotes)
