- Change theme
Quotes by Michael Morpurgo
- A lot of children, like I did, move away from words because of the fear - which is something you have to take out of education: the fear of worrying about what marks you'll get, detention, worrying about letting people down, your parents, teachers.
- Access to books and the encouragement of the habit of reading: these two things are the first and most necessary steps in education and librarians, teachers and parents all over the country know it. It is our children's right and it is also our best hope and their best hope for the future.
- Admitting failure is quite cleansing, but never - pleasurable.
- Animals are sentient, intelligent, perceptive, funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.
