Marie Rutkoski Quotes

Happiness depends on being free, and freedom depends on being courageous Picture Quote #1

In some ways, getting published in children’s literature is a little more open than publishing adult literature. It’s less hinged on who you might know Picture Quote #1

When you are ‘world building,’ people will oftentimes judge how well you built your world. They want to know: Is the culture believable? Does it feel like it has a history? I try very hard to pay attention to details Picture Quote #1

Why would one ever be so insane as to ditch a perfectly beautiful metaphor? Cut back, of course, prune if you like, so that the best metaphors are clear and sparkling. But I will throw out unread the book that promises me no metaphors inside Picture Quote #1

I love seeing a story evolve over several books and watching characters develop Picture Quote #1

I guess one of the most magnificent things a novel can do is to change your perspective on the world, and to give it some sense of wonder, and that’s what I find so exciting in writing fantasy, especially fantasy for children. Because already, I think children have a very special and unusual way of seeing the world Picture Quote #1

Any consideration of the story we call ‘Cinderella’ for simplicity’s sake must acknowledge that ‘Cinderella’ has had a dizzying array of personae over hundreds of years, in several cultures. There is no one authoritative tale of ‘Cinderella,’ only a hall of mirrors with a different face in each reflection Picture Quote #1

Throughout my college years, I’d watch my sister squeal every Christmas as she unwrapped another ‘Buffy’ DVD set. I didn’t know much about the series, but I was filled with that obnoxious self-importance that comes from having decided to be an Academic Who Reads Serious Things Picture Quote #1

For many, many years, I thought that I wasn’t good enough or that I would never be able to create something that could touch other people the way books have touched me. There’s nothing better than having a lifelong dream come true Picture Quote #1

I’m the sort of person who would be perfectly happy spending an entire day in a rare books room Picture Quote #1

Of course having a baby derails the writing process for some time. And I will be the first to say that I have essentially no social life, because there’s just nothing left after being a mom, professor, and writer. I used to be big into rock climbing. No more. A lot falls by the wayside Picture Quote #1
