More quotes by Michael Morpurgo
Books that kids read should be about what is going on in the world.
Michael Morpurgo
Always write your ideas down however silly or trivial they might seem. Keep a notebook with you at all times.
Michael Morpurgo
Like most writers, I sit in a room and scribble a story and you don't have a connection with the people who take your story, whether it be to the stage or to the screen.
Michael Morpurgo
Live an interesting life. Meet people. Read a lot and widely, learn from the great writers
Michael Morpurgo
I don't consciously try to take my readers on a journey as I don't really think about my readers when I'm writing. I just try to write what I feel passionately about, to tell a story down onto the page.
Michael Morpurgo
I don't know, but I do think that everyone has a story to tell. The question is, can they find the voice and the confidence to tell it? We lack the encouragement as young people to believe this we very often think that writing is for clever people, which it isn't.
Michael Morpurgo
It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.
Michael Morpurgo
Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.
Michael Morpurgo
Any problem can be solved between people if only they can trust each other
Michael Morpurgo
We're much alike, bee, you and me, I said. You may carry your pack underneath you and your rifle may stick out of your bottom. But you and me, bee, are much alike.
Michael Morpurgo
Blind terror drove me on, with my flying stirrups whipping me into a frenzy. With no rider to carry I reached the kneeling riflemen first and they scattered as I came upon them.
Michael Morpurgo
I think there's something about studying a book which will kill it if you're not careful.
Michael Morpurgo
I don't want to be separate from something that's important to me.
Michael Morpurgo
As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
Michael Morpurgo
I got married young, far too young, but it is fine. We are still married 48 years later. I got married at 19.
Michael Morpurgo
Any story you write about war, or film you make about war, is bound to be political whether you like it or not.
Michael Morpurgo
My Albert married his Maisie Brown as he said he would. But I think she never took to me, nor I to her for that matter. Perhaps it was a feeling of mutual jealousy.
Michael Morpurgo
I can hate you more, but I'll never love you less.
Michael Morpurgo
We all know that the great memories of our childhood are the little triumphs - it doesn't really matter whether that was in writing, art, on the hockey field or on the football field. It's something that makes you feel - 'I can do this stuff'.
Michael Morpurgo
If I learned anything in this life, I've learned that you can't cling on.
