Arnold Adoff Quotes
I Began Writing For Kids Because I Wanted To Effect A Change In American Society. I Continue In That Spirit. By The Time We Reach Adulthood, We Are Closed And Set In Our Attitudes. The Chances Of A Poet Reaching Us Are Very Slim. But I Can Open A Child's Imagination, Develop His Appetite For Poetry, And More Importantly, Show Him That Poetry Is A Natural Part Of Everyday Life. We All Need Someone To Point Out That The Emperor Is Wearing No Clothes. That's The Poet's Job.
