Más nevek: Др Сјус, Dr. Seuss
Theodor Seuss Geisel német származású amerikai író, karikaturista.
Dr. Seuss néven több mint 60 gyerekkönyvet írt rímes, verses formában, illetve rajzolt félreismerhetetlen, egyedi, kicsit rémisztő stílusban. Könyveinek érdekessége, hogy - mivel olvasni tanuló gyerekeknek íródtak - nagyon kis szókinccsel dolgozik, ettől nagyon könnyen érthetőek a történetek.
Idézetek Dr. Seuss
„Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.“
Georges Duhamel in THE HEART'S DOMAIN (1919). As it was composed in French, the wording in English may vary in translation. Theodore Geisel / Dr. Seuss was born in 1904, and would have been about 15 years old at the time that it was published. The full text can be found at the link below: We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory. Like the images the photographer plunges into a golden bath, our sentiments take on color; and only then, after that recoil and that trans-figuration, do we understand their real meaning and enjoy them in all their tranquil splendor.
