You will come to a place where the streets are not marked. Some windows are lighted. but mostly they're darked. But mostly they're darked. A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin! Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in? How much can you lose? How much can you win?
Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss
Writing for children is murder. A chapter has to be boiled down to a paragraph. Every word has to count.
Dr. Seuss
Ninety percent of the children’s books patronize the child and say there’s a difference between you and me, so you listen to this story. I, for some reason or another, don’t do that. I treat the child as an equal.
Dr. Seuss
You can think about red. You can think about pink. You can think up a horse. Oh, the THINKS you can think!
Dr. Seuss
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.
Dr. Seuss
Think and wonder, wonder and think.
Dr. Seuss
Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained, and delighted.
Dr. Seuss
My trouble was I had a mind but I couldn't make it up!
Dr. Seuss
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote: stink. Stank. Stunk.
Dr. Seuss
People who mind don't matter. But people who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss
