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

When you think things are bad, when you feel sour and blue, when you start to get mad... you should do what I do! Just tell yourself, Duckie, you're really quite lucky! Some people are much more... oh, ever so much more... oh, muchly much-much more unlucky than you!

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.

A person's a person, no matter how small.
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.

Gray day. Everything is gray. I watch. But nothing moves today.

Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

Oh the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!

So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!

The problem with writing a book in verse is, to be successful, it has to sound like you knocked it off on a rainy Friday afternoon. It has to sound easy. When you can do it, it helps tremendously because it's a thing that forces kids to read on. You have this unconsummated feeling if you stop.

[A]s you partake of the world's bill of fare, that's darned good advice to follow. Do a lot of spitting out the hot air. And be careful what you swallow.
Dr. Seuss

Today is gone. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. Every day, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.
Dr. Seuss

You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.
Dr. Seuss
Image
Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age. Humor has a tremendous place in this sordid world. It's more than just a matter of laughing. If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack.

It is better to know how to learn than to know.

It all began with a shoe on the wall. A shoe on the wall shouldn't be there at all.
