Quotes by Astrid Lindgren

"A childhood without books – that would be no childhood. That would be like being shut out from the enchanted place where you can go and find the rarest kind of joy."

Astrid Lindgren

"I hope you won't mind, my dear, if we take it," said Thunder Karlsson. "Oh, not at all," said Pippi. "Of course not." And with that, Blom went over and took out the suitcase. "I hope you won't mind, my dear, if I take it back," said Pippi, as she climbed out of bed and went over to Blom."

Astrid Lindgren

"What should a good children’s book be like? If you ask me, I can tell you after thinking long and hard: It must be good."
