Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel)

My books are not written for children, but for people.

I often find myself in a situation where I have to choose between two evils. I usually choose the one I haven't tried before.

The only thing that I have learned from life is that I can't learn anything from life.

I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter.

In the book I wrote, the cat in the hat, he was very naughty, he was very bad, but he was very smart.

I don't think there's any such thing as a bad book for children.

I'm not really a children's writer. I'm a writer who writes for children.

I like to draw. I like to write. I like to make things up.

I believe in the power of words. I believe in the power of books.

I'm not a preacher. I'm a storyteller.

I think I've written some pretty good stuff. I think I've written some pretty bad stuff.

The greatest fun of all is to write nonsense.

I try to make things as simple as possible, but no simpler.

I am a Democrat, but I think the Democrats have been pretty stupid.

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
