Dr. Seuss

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."

"Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks."

"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child."

"Gertrude, behind her, again had just one... That one little feather she had as a starter. But now that's enough, because now she is smarter."

"If you want to catch beasts you don't see every day,You have to go places quite out of the way,You have to go places no others can get to.You have to get cold and you have too get wet, too."
