An interview with Norton Juster, who wrote The Phantom Tollbooth
"When he was in school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in. On the way he thought about coming home, and coming home he thought about going. Wherever he was he wished he were somewhere else, and when he got there he wondered why he'd bothered. Nothing really interested him -- least of all the things that should have."
When Farida finally had me read this, I wished I had read it when I was young.
