More From Michael Morpurgo

This is what metaphor is. it is not saying that an ant is an elephant. perhaps; both are alive. no. metaphor is saying the ant is an elephant. now, logically speaking, i know there is a difference. if you put elephants and ants before me, i believe that every time i will correctly identify the elephant and the ant. so metaphor must come from a very different place than that of the logical, intelligent mind. it comes from a place that is very courageous, willing to step out of our preconceived ways of seeing things and open so large that it can see the oneness in an ant and in an elephant.

But as the work proceeded i was continually reminded of the fable about the elephant and the tortoise. having constructed an elephant upon which the mathematical world could rest, i found the elephant tottering, and proceeded to construct a tortoise to keep the elephant from falling. but the tortoise was not more secure than the elephant, and after some twenty years of very arduous toil, i came to the conclusion that there was nothing more that i could do in the way of making mathematical knowledge indubitable.

I was never a great reader, but there were two stories i loved best: kipling's the elephant's child and the jungle book. deep down, i've always wanted to write a book about a wild child and an elephant.

You can't have a favourite meal, like you can't have a favourite movie or a favourite book or a favourite child.

If the nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. the element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. the difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. it is absurd to say our country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the people.

I never like the question about letter grades, but i think trump is failing. i think that every day there's another set of tweets and another set of controversies, and nothing seems to be getting done that's any good. and there seems to be kind of a policy paralysis in washington. even the appointments he's supposed to make as a new president, so i focus most of all on climate, and so my opinion of his time as president is certainly influenced by my opinion of the job he's done on climate. he's tried to move the country in the wrong direction.

I love america. i think it's the best country in the world. but i also think we're not tending to our sauce.
Country Thinking America
My greatest hope is to be able to pass the same dreams and hopes and vision that i've been able to enjoy in my life, on to the next generation. not just for my children - because with a mother like michelle, my kids are going to be great - but for all children. there are too many children in this country for whom the american dream is so distant and the odds against them are so daunting.
Mother Dream Country
I have always seen life personally; my interest or sympathy or indignation is not aroused by an abstract cause but by the plight of a single person...out of my response to an individual develops an awareness of a problem to the community, then to the country, then to the world.
