Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.

More quotes by Judy Blume
How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives.
Judy Blume
[I]t's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers.
Judy Blume
There's no book or play or series or anything that speaks to everyone, because then it wouldn't speak to anyone.
Judy Blume
Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.
Judy Blume
I've heard that some authors do dream their books and I would love that if it happened to me, but so far it hasn't. Sometimes I'll get a good idea during the night and if I don't write it down, I won't remember it the next morning.
Judy Blume
I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.
Judy Blume
I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.
Judy Blume
The child from 9 to 12 interests me very much. And so, those were the years that I like to write about, when I'm writing.
Judy Blume
I love to watch movies.
Judy Blume
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Judy Blume
Why are we acting as if we're angry. Are we angry?
Judy Blume
We must, we must, we must increase our bust.
Judy Blume
Sometimes I can't read my own handwriting. That's a problem!
Judy Blume
Its all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but its that determination.
Judy Blume
The only thing that works with writing is that you care so passionately about it yourself, that you make someone else care passionately about it.
Judy Blume
I like to read fiction best and I like to write fiction, too.
Judy Blume
I thought [books ban] was crazy. Really my thoughts were This is America, we don't do this here but of course I know a lot better now. And I wasn't the only one. Norma Klein was writing at the same time. Her books were going. So many of us. When you say to me, no you can't do this I say, oh yes I can.
Judy Blume
What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.
Judy Blume
I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.
Judy Blume
I fell in love with books at the Elizabeth Public Library when I was four.
