More quotes by Aidan Chambers
When you are in your teenage years you are consciously experiencing everything for the first time, so adolescent stories are all beginnings. There are never any endings.
Aidan Chambers
Life is not like a novel, but a novel can be like life. The best ones always are.
Aidan Chambers
History dies without the present. There is no future without the path made to it by the past.
Aidan Chambers
Is it better to go with the flow or let the flow go?
Aidan Chambers
The most memorable people in life will be the friends who loved you when you weren’t very lovable.
Aidan Chambers
Fame, money and the size of the market are not very important to me. What is, is writing a book that is worth doing and then publishing it. I don't write books for entertainment, for people to pass the time then throw away.
Aidan Chambers
You become a reader by reading the literature, not by reading the handbooks about it.
Aidan Chambers
Readers are made by readers - it is so obvious it is almost banal to say it.
Aidan Chambers
And the price for being a homo-hater should be as high as anyone can pay.
Aidan Chambers
I thought how lovely and how strange a river is.
Aidan Chambers
You get to be wiser by storying the world and seeing it through other forms of consciousness than your own.
Aidan Chambers
Belief means willing yourself to give all your attention to living with loving gladness in the world you think really exists.
Aidan Chambers
We resent being faced with facts we'd prefer to ignore as much as being wrongly accused of doing something we haven't.
Aidan Chambers
I cannot live without reading.
Aidan Chambers
All the time I think I can never love you more than I already do. And then you do something or say something, and I love you more than ever. Like just now. Like now. How is it possible? Can you love someone more and more and at the same time, all the time, love them as much as it's possible to love someone?
Aidan Chambers
I don't actually think “true love” is such a good term because love can only be true. If it isn't true it can't be love.
Aidan Chambers
Sometimes the course of our lives depends on what we do or don't do in a few seconds, a heartbeat, when we either seize the opportunity, or just miss it. Miss the moment and you never get a chance again.
Aidan Chambers
If a boy, if a man, asks you if you're all right and you say yes, he'll always believe you and get on with what he wants to do. It's just the way they're made.
Aidan Chambers
Rooms are a fixed size, which can't be altered without pulling down walls and building new ones. They should be unchanging in shape and proportions. But sometimes they do change depending on who's in them.
Aidan Chambers
You have to know your own truth and stick to it. And never despair. Never give up. There's always hope.
Aidan Chambers
