More quotes by Judy Blume
I always had stories inside my head and one day I just decided to start writing them down. I didn't actually decide.
Judy Blume
Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.
Judy Blume
I think about Lenaya and Hugh. Will they know how much I've changed this year? Will they have changed too? I'll wait until tomorrow to find out. And then it's possible I won't find out after all. Because some changes happen deep down inside of you. And the truth is, only you know about them. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.
Judy Blume
Summer Sisters is probably my least autobiographical book. The whole idea started with rowing down the pond. And I heard an explosion. I don't like sudden loud noises. They scare me. And then all these people came running down the hill and jumped in the water in their finery and a bride and groom was with them, and that's where it all started.

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
I thought [Summer Sisters ] would be a children's book - two girls who summer together from very different backgrounds. And then when it just kept going and going and going. They kept getting older.
Judy Blume
you can't deny they ever happened. You can't deny you ever loved them, love them still, even if loving them causes you pain
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
I never read a horse book in my life. But I thought that's what my friends were reading and that's what I should be reading. And this was Dobbin Does This and Dobbin Does That.
Judy Blume
My mother was my greatest fan.
Judy Blume
First of all I can only focus on one creative project at a time. I wish I could focus on two, because I really only write.
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 loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.
Judy Blume
My mother was a cracker jack typist. And she would come in and sit at my house and type the final type script before I would then send it to the publisher. And it was nice for us.
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
The best books come from someplace deep inside.... Become emotionally involved. If you don't care about your characters, your readers won't either.
Judy Blume
When I was twelve. And I was going through my parents' bookshelves, I found the most wonderful books and plenty of. Within those wonderful books that were real turn-on's. At 12 or 13, books were such turn-ons.
