"It is not about teaching, it is about allowing learning to take place." - M.D.
"It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers."- Judy Blume
"It's not giving your children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation."- John Gray
"My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school, "So? Did you learn anything today?" But not my mother. "Izzy," she would say, "did you ask a good question today?" That difference - asking good questions - made me become a scientist."- Isidor Isaac Rabi
"There's a lot of us in the [library] field that feel very strongly that [comic books are] a tremendous medium and an exciting medium to engage people at the [gifted child] end of the spectrum, because it really sparks their creativity. There's no question that the combination of words and pictures can be a very exciting way to tell a story that leaves a lasting impression."- Michael Lavin
