Suppose a white man should come to me and say, "joseph, i like your horses. i want to buy them." i say to him, "no, my horses suit me; i will not sell them." then he goes to my neighbor and says to him, "joseph has some good horses. i want to buy them, but he refuses to sell." my neighbor answers, "pay me the money and i will sell you joseph's horses." the white man returns to me and says, "joseph, i have bought your horses and you must let me have them." if we sold our lands to the government, this is the way they bought them.

The corncob was the central object of my life. my father was a horse handler, first trotting and pacing horses, then coach horses, then work horses, finally saddle horses. i grew up around, on, and under horses, fed them, shoveled their manure, emptied the mangers of corncobs.

The world is like a ride in an amusement park. and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. and the ride goes up and down and round and round. it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "is this real, or is this just a ride?" and other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." and we kill those people.

The other night i searched (the web) for 'self-transforming elf machines.' there were 36 hits! it surprised me. i sort of use the search engine like an oracle. i've used the phrase for dmt, 'arabian hyperspace.' so i thought of this, and then i searched it, 'arabian hyperspace,' in quotes. and it took me right to a transcript of the talk in which i'd said the thing! you can find your own mind on the internet. i'm very grateful to the people who type up my talks and then post them at their websites.

The idea for maximum ride come from the earlier books of mine called when the wind blows and the lake house, which also feature a character named max who escapes from a quiet despicable school. most of the similarities end there. max and the other kids in maximum ride are not the same max and kids featured in those two books. nor do frannie and kit play any part in maximum ride. i hope you enjoy the ride anyways.

Many poets write books. they'll tell you: well, i've got my next book, but there are two poems i need to write, one about x, one about y. this is a wonder to me.

For there is another kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. this is the violence of institutions; indifference and inaction and slow decay. this is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. this is a slow destruction of a child by hunger, and schools without books and homes without heat in the winter.

I consciously try not to play favorites with my characters or my books.
