"Give everyone an equal chance in life by helping people become confident and enthusiastic readers."
"That's the purpose of stories, that's what they're for: They make life worth living and, sometimes, they keep us alive."
"Literature does not occur in a vacuum. It cannot be a monologue. It has to be a conversation, and new people, new readers, need to be brought into the conversation too."
"The most important thing that I think fiction does [is that] it lets us look out through other eyes... but it also gives us empathy. The act of looking out through other eyes tells us something huge and important, which is that other people exist. ... One of the things that fiction can give us is just the realization that behind every pair of eyes, there's somebody like us."
