Sharon Creech Quotes

You can’t keep the birds of sadness from flying over your head, but you can keep them from nesting in your hair Picture Quote #1

Then I thought, boy, isn’t that just typical? You wait and wait and wait for something, and then when it happens, you feel sad Picture Quote #1

Maybe it was the same with people: if you studied them,you’d see new and different things. But would you like what you saw? Did it depend on who was doing the looking? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when you are trying not to think about something it keeps popping back in your head you can’t help it you think about it and think about it and think about it until your brain feels like a squashed pea Picture Quote #1

Life is like a bowl of spaghetti. Every once in a while, you get a meatball Picture Quote #1

What I have since realized is that if people expect you to be brave, sometimes you pretend that you are, even when you are frightened down to your very bones Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that we can’t explain all the truly awful things in the world like war and murder and brain tumors, and we can’t fix these things, so we look at the frightening things that are closer to us and we magnify them until they burst open. Inside is something that we can manage, something that isn’t as awful as it had a first seemed. It is a relief to discover that although there might be axe murderers and kidnappers in the world, most people seem a lot like us: sometimes afraid and sometimes brave, sometimes cruel and sometimes kind Picture Quote #1

Man needs bread and hyacinths: one to feed the body, and one to feed the soul Picture Quote #1

I wish that every baby everywhere could land in a family that wanted that baby as much as we want ours Picture Quote #1

I started thinking about life insurance and how nice it would be if you could get insurance that your life would be happy, and that everyone you knew could be happy, and they could all do what they really wanted to do, and they could all find the people they wanted to find Picture Quote #1

And what did I think when I was small and why did I forget? And what else will I forget when I grow older? And if you forget is it as if it never happened? Will none of the things you saw or thought or dreamed matter? Picture Quote #1

The sea, the sea, the sea. It rolled and rolled and called to me. Come in, it said, come in Picture Quote #1

Read a lot, live your life, and listen and watch, so that your mind fills up with millions of images Picture Quote #1

Relationships with parents, grandparents, friends, and siblings were important to me when I was young and have remained so throughout my life. Our relationships with other people both shape and reflect who we are. These relationships are infinitely fascinating to explore! Picture Quote #1

Each child brings so much joy and hope into the world, and that is reason enough for being here. As you grow older, you will contribute something else to this world, and only you can discover what that is Picture Quote #1

I entered a poem in a poetry contest around 1987, and the poem won and I received $1,000 for it. That made me realize that maybe what I was writing was worth reading to people. After that, for some reason, I turned to novels and I’ve written mainly novels ever since Picture Quote #1

I once fell 20 feet from a tree, was knocked unconscious, and when I picked myself up and straggled home, my parents thought I was making it up. However, when my brother and I fabricated a story about an encounter with a bear, they believed that! So maybe I learned very early on that fiction was more interesting to listeners!
