For some, time passes slowly. An hour can seem like an eternity. For others, there was never enough. For Jesse Tuck, it didn't exist.

Readers are lucky - they will never be bored or lonely.
Natalie Babbitt
my mother always found me out. Always. She's been dead for thirty-five years, but I have this feeling that even now she's watching.
Natalie Babbitt
The only thing I would want to say is that storytelling is ancient it's something that everybody does. Kids mustn't be in awe of it. Reading should be a joy - fun, fun, fun - not a responsibility, not something you do because society demands it, but something you do because it's a pleasure.
Natalie Babbitt
I have a wonderful husband, and we have had a great life.
Natalie Babbitt
Still-there's no use trying to figure why things fall the way they do. Things just are, and fussing don't bring changes.

Living's heavy work, but off to one side the way we are, it's useless, too. It don't make sense. If I knowed how to climb back on the wheel, I'd do it in a minute. You can't have living without dying. So you can't call it living, what we got. We just are, we just be, like rocks beside the road.
Natalie Babbitt
Life's got to be lived, no matter how long or short. You got to take what comes.
Natalie Babbitt
You dont have to live forever just live.
Natalie Babbitt
in reading ... stories, you can be many different people in many different places, doing things you would never have a chance to do in ordinary life. It's amazing that those twenty-six little marks of the alphabet can arrange themselves on the pages of a book and accomplish all that. Readers are lucky - they will never be bored or lonely.

I was born and raised in Ohio. During my childhood, I spent most of my time drawing and reading fairy tales and myths.
