Michael Morpurgo People Quotations

The most important thing is to live an interesting life. Keep your eyes, ears and heart open. Talk to people and visit interesting places, and don't forget to ask questions. To be a writer you need to drink in the world around you so it's always there in your head.

War continues to divide people, to change them forever, and I write about it both because I want people to understand the absolute futility of war, the 'pity of war' as Wilfred Owen called it.

Live an interesting life. Meet people. Read a lot and widely, learn from the great writers

Genuinely good people are like that. The sun shines out of them. They warm you right through.

Everyone is interested in war, in that people don't want it to happen. I'm much more interested in peace than in war but it's important to understand why we fight.

Any problem can be solved between people if only they can trust each other
