If you are a dreamer come in
Shel Silverstein
We're all worth the same When we turn off the light.
Shel Silverstein
If you want to find out what a writer or a cartoonist really feels, look at his work. That's enough.
Shel Silverstein
How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.
Shel Silverstein
I've found my missin' piece So grease my knees and fleece my bees I've found my missin' piece!
Shel Silverstein
... and she loved a boy very, very much-- even more than she loved herself.
Shel Silverstein
This boat that we just built is just fine - And don't try to tell us it's not The sides and the back are divine - It's the bottom I guess we forgot
Shel Silverstein
INVISIBLE BOY And here we see the invisible boy In his lovely invisible house, Feeding a piece of invisible cheese To a little invisible mouse. Oh, what a beautiful picture to see! Will you draw an invisible picture for me?
Shel Silverstein
everything isn't everything

FROZEN DREAM I'll take the dream I had last night And put it in my freezer, So someday long and far away When I'm an old grey geezer, I'll take it out and thaw it out, This lovely dream I've frozen, And boil it up and sit me down A dip my old cold toes in.
Shel Silverstein
why can't you see i'm a kid', said the kid. Why try to make me like you? Why are you hurt when I don't cuddle? Why do you sigh when I splash through a puddle? Why do you scream when I do what I did? Im a kid.
Shel Silverstein
Listen to the voice that speaks inside
Shel Silverstein
I was hoping that perhaps I could roll with you... You cannot roll with me, said the Big O, but perhaps you can roll by yourself.
Shel Silverstein
She had blue skin, And so did he. He kept it hid And so did she. They searched for blue Their whole life through, Then passed right by- And never knew.
Shel Silverstein
I was so lucky that I didn't have anyone to copy, be impressed by. I had developed my own style, I was creating before I knew there was a Thurber, a Benchley, a Price and a Steinberg. I never saw their work until I was around thirty.
Shel Silverstein
Beware of being the roller / When there's nothing left to roll
Shel Silverstein
Stand-up comics reflect less of a visual humor and more of a commentary.
Shel Silverstein
If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can just ain't enough!
Shel Silverstein
And he didn't really know where he was going, but he did know he was going somewhere, because you really have to go somewhere, don't you?
Shel Silverstein
What did the carrot say to the wheat? Lettuce rest, I'm feeling beet.
Shel Silverstein
