More quotes by Kate DiCamillo

Each new friendship can make you a new person, because it opens up new doors inside of you.

Reading might not be the way that the child engages with the world, but it should be something that they all learn how to do, and that they get to have for themselves, as opposed to somebody telling them what to do and how to do it.
Kate DiCamillo
... every time you look at the world and the people in it closely, lovingly, imaginatively, it changes you. The world, under the microscope of your attention, opens up like a beautiful, strange flower and gives itself back to you in ways you could never imagine.
Kate DiCamillo
We [me and Alison McGhee] probably wouldn't have said that when we were writing the stories, but it is so apparent to me in the finished product. For me, looking at Bink, it's like looking at myself on the page in a way that I've never experienced with any other book that I've written.

The sound of the king's music made Despereaux's soul grow large and light inside of him.
Kate DiCamillo
I love words I love the way they sound. Once I've worked on everything else, the last drafts of my books come down to how they sound.
Kate DiCamillo
Love is ridiculous. But love is also wonderful. And powerful. And Despereaux's love for the Princess Pea would prove, in time, to be all of these things: powerful, wonderful, and ridiculous.
Kate DiCamillo
Like most hearts, it was complicated, shaded with dark and dappled with light.
Kate DiCamillo
I think of myself as an enormously lucky person.
Kate DiCamillo
Most of my books begin with an image or a voice - one small thing - and I don't know what it is going to become.
Kate DiCamillo
Everything I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.
