More quotes by Judy Blume
A library is where you meet fascinating characters you never forget.
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
The parent reads the book. The kid reads the book and then they can talk about the characters instead of talking about themselves. You know there's a connection even if you don't talk about it when you read the same books.
Judy Blume
Librarians save lives by handing the right book at the right time to a kid in need.
Judy Blume
Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.
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 meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.
Judy Blume
My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need 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
Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.
Judy Blume
My mother was my greatest fan.
Judy Blume
It's not so much that I like him as a person God, but as a boy he's very handsome.
Judy Blume
My mother was a cracker jack typist. And she would come in and sit at my house and type the final type script before I would then send it to the publisher. And it was nice for us.
Judy Blume
I love to watch movies.
Judy Blume
I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.
Judy Blume
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
The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.
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
I kept a diary as a teenager but I never would have shared it with anyone. Still, I think it's very good practice to write things down.
Judy Blume
I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.
Judy Blume
