"It is foolish to try and sanitize literature and the arts under some mistaken idea that one is protecting youth. Children and teens need to explore the dark side as a healthy part of growing.
"If a child is protected from everything dreadful, he will have no coping mechanisms in place when finally confronted with disaster."
— Annette Curtis Klause,
author of BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE
"When I can be detached, not in love with my words any more, but still knowing the story can speak for itself, it's the most wonderful feeling in the world."
