“What was wrong with these American students? Didn’t they know I was the teacher and they had to do as I said? I learned quickly that my authority meant little, if anything, to them. I was not the all-powerful and feared mwalimu (teacher) of Africa.”
Maria Nhambu, America's Daughter

Stephen  Alder
“The caption reads, “Emperor Andon-Roon enjoys a surge in popularity after brokering a peace deal with Caderyn after twelve cycles of war.” For some reason this evokes strong emotions in her—deep sorrow, anger—and she stares at the screen transfixed, as if straining to find herself in the story.”
Stephen Alder, Deehabta’s Song

Rebecca Rosenberg
“Which is it, Madame Pommery, are you the daring coquette or a pillar of society?”
Rebecca Rosenberg, Madame Pommery, Creator of Brut Champagne

“Your brain is doing some great work when it's laughing.”
Jon Scieszka, Funny Business

Natalie Babbitt
“(I)n 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.”
