我坚信倡导者能够创造更好的产品，因为他们关心的东西更多。对于一个倡导者来说，一个项目并不仅仅只是一个生意。他的事业与生意有关，而且必须把生意做好，但生意并非他做这件事情的原因。你做某一件事情，是因为它对你来说是有意义的，那才是你的动力。

"I write for kids because I was a kid who needed books."

You can't go back home to your family, back home to your childhood, back home to romantic love, back home to a young man's dreams of glory and of fame, back home to exile, to escape to Europe and some foreign land, back home to lyricism, to singing just for singing's sake, back home to aestheticism, to one's youthful idea of 'art' and beauty, back home to the ivory tower, back home to places in the country, to the cottage in Bermuda, away from all the strife and conflict of the world, back home to the father you have lost and have been looking for, back home to someone who can help you, save you, ease the burden for you, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time—back home to the escapes of Time and Memory.
