I never heard of anyone who was really literate or who ever really loved books who wanted to suppress any of them.

I heard his library burned down and both books were destroyed - and one of them hadn't even been colored in yet.

All my boyhood, all I ever wanted was to be loved.

Do not suppose, however, that I intend to urge a diet of classics on anybody. I have seen such diets at work. I have known people who have actually read all, or almost all, the guaranteed Hundred Best Books. God save us from reading nothing but the best.

Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.

As a child, I loved story books and wanted to be in them so desperately and live the stories.
