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

Judy Blume
I never thought about writing. I was married young, I was still in college, as we did then, and I had two babies before I was 25, and I loved them, and I loved taking care of them, but I was a little bit cuckoo, staying at home and not having a creative outlet.
Judy Blume
Sometimes I can't read my own handwriting. That's a problem!
Judy Blume
A library is where you meet fascinating characters you never forget.
Judy Blume
We must, we must, we must increase our bust.
Judy Blume
I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.
Judy Blume
How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives.
Judy Blume
You've never been in love, she said. You don't understand. If being in love means giving up your freedom, not to mention your opportunities, Caitlin said, Then I haven't missed anything.
Judy Blume
It's strange, but when it comes right down to it I never do fall apart--even when I'm sure I will.
Judy Blume
Margaret was just my truth. It was what I knew to be true about sixth grade.
Judy Blume
I stop and think before I start a new book and ask myself do I really want to spend the next year or two or three with these characters because if I don't, then I shouldn't be writing about them.
