I wanted to be an author as far back as I can remember, mixed with occasional bouts of wanting to be a werewolf when I grew up. But mostly, when I daydreamed, it was about being an author.

The names are the first things to go, after the breath has gone, and the beating of the heart. We keep our memories longer than our names.

Anyone who believes what a cat tells him deserves all he gets.

I think...that I would rather recollect a life mis-spent on fragile things than spent avoiding moral debt.

If I were only allowed to read or enjoy art or listen to music made by people whose opinions and beliefs were the same as mine, I think the world would be a pretty dismal sort of a place.

I'm a stranger, pointed out Bod. You're not, she said, definitely. You're a little boy. And then she said, And you're my friend. So you can't be a stranger.

And there never was an apple, in Adam's opinion, that wasn't worth the trouble you got into for eating it.

It's certainly not too late to change to the winning side. But you know, you also have the freedom to stay just where you are. That's what it means to be an American. That's the miracle of America. Freedom to believe means the freedom to believe the wrong thing, after all. Just as freedom of speech gives you the right to stay silent.

Sometimes human beings are very much like bees. Bees are fiercely protective of their hive, provided you are outside it. Once you’re in, the workers sort of assume that it must have been cleared by management and take no notice various freeloading insects have evolved a mellifluous existence because of this very fact. Humans act the same way.

Most books on witchcraft will tell you that witches work naked. This is because most books on witchcraft were written by men.

She really was pretty, for a grown-up person, but when you are seven, beauty is an abstraction, not an imperative. I wonder what I would have done if she had smiled at me like that now: whether I would have handed my mind or my heart or my identify to her for the asking, as my father did.

There's nothing for getting you good fast like having to be good fast, if that makes any sense.

I am not by nature the kind of creator who is transgressive in order to be transgressive.

You don't pass or fail at being a person, dear.

Different people remember things differently, and you'll not get any two people to remember anything the same, whether they were there or not.

Really, he thought, if you couldn't trust a poet to offer sensible advice, who could you trust?

Why do I have this imagination? It's the only one I've got!

There's this thing, they have in french: L'espirit d'escalier. The spirit of the stairway. I don't think we have a word for it in English. It means, well, the clever things to say that you only think to yourself when you're on the way out.

He left the drapes open, watched the lights of the cars and of the fast food joints through the window glass, comforted to know there was another world out there, one he could walk to anytime he wanted.

You know, I'm normally so sanguine. But... being accused of rushing these two books out to cash in on the Newbery Medal, without access to time travel equipment or anything, just makes me want to bang my forehead gently against a tree for half an hour. Is it too much to ask people to think?
