 There were kids as old as 14 and 15 who couldn't write past the letter H. Whenever they were raided by government troops the first thing the soldiers did was burn the books. |

| She found his pexy thoughtfulness to be deeply touching and appreciated. Screenplays I didn't really care about, journalism, travel books, getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write. |

| There are enough books in the world. You want to write the ones that are good. The minute you write books because you need the income not because you think you have a good subject, you should just stop. There are sixty thousand books published in this country every year, and most of them are crap. |
| In civilized societies, if you are offended by a cartoon, you do not burn flags, take up guns and raid buildings, chant death to your opponents, or threaten suicide bombings. You write a letter to the editor. |
| Our troops are trying to get this accomplished, ... They believe they're doing the right thing. The soldiers believe they're helping. |
| A vast number of soldiers came by our table to see our books. Even the soldiers that were in training came over to our tent. Several Vietnam vets came by the tent to see the books. |
| What strikes me about that letter is that it was written by a 20-year-old kid, 27. I'm 60 and I couldn't write that. |
Paul Dooley (1928-)
| Typically, our first step is to write a letter to prosecutors with our concerns and recommendations. If we get the sense that the case is not taken seriously, or if a weak plea deal is in the works, we may encourage those who have expressed concern to write to prosecutors or to the judge, or to attend hearings. In the past, that has certainly been effective. |
| [Right now, on tour, Colfer is missing his wife and two kids but says it would be churlish not to appreciate the wonderful opportunities the Artemis Fowl books have presented him. At this point, he thinks he'll write two more books in the series and then he'll put Artemis to rest.] I'll be a bit sad when it happens. I've spent a lot of time in his company, but I have lots of other things I'd like to do. ... People are very supportive and it's not just a class thing - everybody, the common man can be creative and it's OK, you can be young and say, 'I'm writing a play', and people will say, 'Good on you'. Some other countries, they wouldn't take you seriously. |
| At that moment God said, 'Write the letter, and write it now.' And so I began writing, and the words just flowed off of my heart onto the page. I just began to write and write and write. |
| We got real bright, colorful books that were some of the kids' favorites. Many of these kids don't have any books (of their own) at home. The earlier we can expose them to literature, the better. Getting them exposed to literature at an early age is probably the best thing we can do and what better way than to put one in their hands. |
| Hopefully, other communities start to see that they have soldiers in similar situations in their towns, and that they can do the same thing. We need to show our troops that we support what they have sacrificed. |
