    Madeleine L'Engle
    You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.
    Madeleine L'Engle

    Charlotte Brontë

"And what is hell? Can you tell me that?" "A pit full of fire." "And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there for ever?" "No, sir." "What must you do to avoid it?"

    Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
