You've got to enjoy whatever you can and forget about the rest.

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 wanted to write honest books for kids because I didn't have those when I was a kid.
Judy Blume
Image
I was Little Miss Perfect. That's where all the secrets come in, because you know damn well you are not perfect, but you think your parents want you to be. And so you pretend.
Judy Blume
Image
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
Image
Margaret was just my truth. It was what I knew to be true about sixth grade.
Judy Blume
