The King walks. He nods. His glance is like God's touch - under it all things spring to life.

I grew up on a mixed diet of mass and class, and I still read that way. I hate it when people apologize for what they read. Some bestsellers aren't exactly literary. So what? They're fun and rip-roaring, Who instituted the book police and why do we have to answer them? Grrrrr!
Jennifer Donnelly
It's only the body that's gone. Only the body. There's a part that doesn't go in the ground, a part that stays inside you forever.
Jennifer Donnelly
I need a boy who thinks with his big head, not his little one. Since they do not exist, I have fashioned my own.
