There are times when you don't know yourself. There are times when you don't want to know yourself. There are times when you want to be what you have never allowed yourself to be before.
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
You become a reader by reading the literature, not by reading the handbooks about it.
Aidan Chambers
a joy that hurts with sadness a sadness that is pleasurable a pleasure full of terror a terror that excites an excitement that calms a calmness that frightens.
Aidan Chambers
The books, the authors who matter the most are those who speak to me and speak for me all those things about life I most need to hear as the confession of myself
Aidan Chambers
I cannot live without reading.
Aidan Chambers
I huff and puff and struggle with every sentence, paragraph and page - sometimes every word as well.
Aidan Chambers
