Neil Gaiman Quotes

We Have An Obligation To Read Aloud To Our Children. To Read Them Things They Enjoy. To Read To Them Stories We Are Already Tired Of. To Do The Voices, To Make It Interesting, And Not To Stop Reading To Them Just Because They Learn To Read To Themselves. We Have An Obligation To Use Reading-aloud Time As Bonding Time, As Time When No Phones Are Being Checked, When The Distractions Of The World Are Put Aside. We Have An Obligation To Use The Language. To Push Ourselves: To Find Out What Words Mean And How To Deploy Them, To Communicate Clearly, To Say What We Mean. We Must Not Attempt To Freeze Language, Or To Pretend It Is A Dead Thing That Must Be Revered, But We Should Use It As A Living Thing, That Flows, That Borrows Words, That Allows Meanings And Pronunciations To Change With Time.
