More quotes by Judy Blume
I do believe that people who write for children are deeply connected to their own childhood.
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
hi I hope u want to be my friends
Judy Blume
I like revising much, much better than getting down a first draft. The first draft is just getting the pieces to the puzzle. Then I get to put the puzzle together!
Judy Blume
I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.
Judy Blume
When I'm writing a book, you can't think about your audience. You're going to be in big trouble if you think about it. You're got to write from deep inside.
Judy Blume
The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.
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
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
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
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
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
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
Librarians save lives by handing the right book at the right time to a kid in need.
Judy Blume
I like to read fiction best and I like to write fiction, too.
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
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
Determination and hard work are as important as talent.
Judy Blume
Why are we acting as if we're angry. Are we angry?
Judy Blume
I fell in love with books at the Elizabeth Public Library when I was four.
