More quotes by Judy Blume
I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.
Judy Blume
[ Adult novels] was the world of grownups. There was nothing about teenagers.
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
You've got to enjoy whatever you can and forget about the rest.
Judy Blume
I like one hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain and things that are pink. I hate pimples, baked potatoes, when my mother's mad, and religious holidays.
Judy Blume
If all you leave in the library is books that you think speak to everyone, what are you going to have? You'd have nothing.
Judy Blume
Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.
Judy Blume
My mother was my greatest fan.
Judy Blume
Kids should read whatever they want to read. So I'm hoping that just like 15-year-olds read Summer Sisters, I'm hoping that they'll read this.
Judy Blume
Heavy petting, that was fun! That was good. And frankly, you know I wish kids would go back to it. It's very satisfying. And it's not as scary. So many girls, you know this. I mean they are having what we call sex. Right? They're having intercourse. They don't want to, they don't get anything out of it.
Judy Blume
Books opened up a whole new world to me. Through them I discovered new ideas, traveled to new places, and met new people. Books helped me learn to understand other people and they taught me a lot about myself. ... Some books you never forget. Some characters become your friends for life.
Judy Blume
My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.
Judy Blume
[Writing] totally changed my life. It gave me my life. Everything opened up.
Judy Blume
I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.
Judy Blume
Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.
Judy Blume
We are friends for life. When we’re together the years fall away. Isn’t that what matters? To have someone who can remember with you? To have someone who remembers how far you’ve come?
Judy Blume
I love to watch movies.
Judy Blume
I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.
Judy Blume
Censors never go after books unless kids already like them. I don’t even think they know to go after books until they know that children are interested in reading this book, therefore there must be something in it that’s wrong.
Judy Blume
A library is where you meet fascinating characters you never forget.
