A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees would face a future with even less hope.

When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments; tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become.

"The act of writing is an act of resistance."

儿童有着他自己的人格，他自身具有创造精神的美和尊严。这种美和尊严是永远不能磨灭的，所以他的纯洁而非常敏感的心灵需要我们最审慎的爱护。
