Summary

This quote suggests that any subject or story can be appreciated and enjoyed by children if it is presented to them in a way that they can understand and engage with. Children have a genuine, unfiltered response to literature as they are not easily impressed by artificiality. They have no tolerance for insincerity or the attempt to impress, making them the best judges of the quality of a book. At the same time, their honest and sometimes blunt reactions can also make them the harshest critics.

I don't think the world is the way we like to think it is. I don't think it's one solid world, but many, thousands upon thousands of them--as many as there are people--because each person perceives the world in his or her own way; each lives in his or her own world. Sometimes they connect, for a moment, or more rarely, for a lifetime, but mostly we are alone, each living in our own world, suffering our small deaths.
