More quotes by Judy Blume
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Judy Blume
It was a such a surprise, such an absolute shocking surprise to me to not know what you're doing and to find out that this thing that you don't even know how to do, that you're sure you don't know how to do, speaks to so many people and touches so many people in some way.
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
How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives.
Judy Blume
Why are we acting as if we're angry. Are we angry?
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.
Judy Blume
[Writing] totally changed my life. It gave me my life. Everything opened up.
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
I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.
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.
