"Reject your labels. Reject the authority that tells you that you are something and that you belong in this box. Listen to them, but make your own labels and your own box and believe it first because that's the label you have to live with." Maggie is such an inspiration.
Really interesting and inspiring - thank you. By the way, for those of you who just have to know the outcome of the Jaffa Cake court case, the court decided they were cakes, not biscuits (cookies). The decision hinged on the fact that when biscuits (cookies) go stale they get softer and when cakes go stale they get harder. When Jaffa cakes go stale they go harder, so they're cakes. (It's important because in the UK chocolate covered biscuits are taxed, but cakes aren't.....or perhaps it isn't important at all).
haha Maggie you were so very profound. and the chair was just the cherry on top. i loved the whole "I'm mourning the death of modern society" and "Weird people are next". you are right. being "inside the box" is boring and i dont like being labeled. i know who i am and no one can "label" me. very empowering.
"Well, basically, the jist of it is... if you're a werewolf, and you're looking for a cure... don't try this at home (It's kinda crappy science" Hahahahahahahaha... I love Her sooooo much!!!!!
Yay! Maggie, i missed your speech cause of a dr appointment but i watched all day, the comments in the screen shot that got posted of you speaking a few weeks ago had the some of the best comments I'd read all day about the speakers, and finally i got to see it! They were right! you were great and beyond profound!
I woke up this morning to find this link on my Facebook. I watched it and I was really moved by it because you really make me feel like I'm not the only one. What I mean is that I was one of those teens put into a box by my parents and as a 27 year old woman now I realize that I want to be a writer. I want to be labeled as something else. I admire you and I love your books. So I thank you for being an inspiration for me.
Her books starting with Linger, captivated me in the 6th grade living in NC I felt the energy cause I happened to read it during the fall going into winter . Amazing writer truly magical
A students are usually those who know how to know (KH2K) and apply it B students are generally those who KH2K but don't consistently advance it C students often don't KH2K, they do great in certain areas but not in other areas D students often don't KH2K, get confused and frustrated leading to disinterest F students often don't care to know
Summary: I was a weird kid that didn't fit in and homeschooling saved me, so don't ask me what to do about public schools. Yes, I have read her books. She's a good writer but her talk doesn't say what she seems to think it does.
+Alex K. Yes, Maggie said too in one of her posts on tumblr. I just don't know if it's her real name or her pen name. Though I think it's her real name. She wrote the books Scorpio races, the raven cycle series and the wolves of mercy falls series. Of course if you're only interested in reading them.
The most surprising thing for her was being invited to come to Lithuania? Why??? I'm honestly curious now!!! XD Why's that so surprising??? XD It's not like lithuanians don't read books >_< lol

In fairness, it's tough for me to take anyone who doesn't see the value of fiction seriously.

Yes, I have read her books. She's a good writer but her talk doesn't say what she seems to think it does.
Shes so cool...
Irony is she was talking about getting outside of the box while standing in one lmao
Very inspirational! Thank you Maggie! =)
god I love her
bless
Stiefvater??? What is her real name?
Alex K. That is her real name. Steve+otter is how it's pronounces
Stiefvater is the German word for stepfather, letter by letter.

If you must insult someone, at least spell it correctly.
