Dr. Seuss

"Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

"I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I'll probably... drop writing children's books and become a political cartoonist again."

"Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought, doesn't come from a store."

"You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room."
