Margaret Mahy Quotes

My theory is that I decided to be a writer when I was about seven, but of course it is not as simple as that. Like most writers, I had to work at other things to earn a living and wrote mainly in the evenings, often very late at night, for many years Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to die, really. I’m interested in what happens next, so I’ve got to keep on Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of things you can put up with, as long as you’re not related to them Picture Quote #1

I don't think I prefer writing for one age group above another. I am just as pleased with a story which I feel works well for very small children as I do with a story for young adults Picture Quote #1

When I was a child I had a best friend who lived across the road from me. When her mother died unexpectedly it was like losing a member of my own family. I think I am still affected by the memory of that loss Picture Quote #1

People can say what they like about the eternal verities, love and truth and so on, but nothing’s as eternal as the dishes Picture Quote #1

Perhaps every time anyone is praised it means that someone else somewhere is going to be ignored Picture Quote #1

Try not to become disappointed if someone doesn’t like a story you’ve written. Stick up for your ideas, but listen to what other people say, too. They might have good advice Picture Quote #1

For in some ways the world was like a shopping centre, and he himself was a doubtful customer, often ineffectual, being talked into buying things he didn’t want, things indeed which nobody in their right mind would want to buy Picture Quote #1
