Alexander Theroux Quotes

Yellow is vagueness and luminousness, both Picture Quote #1

To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy Picture Quote #1

I kneel to my Lord because I am such a failure. I pray, I hope, I look to the Gospels Picture Quote #1

Being natural is one of the most irritating poses I know in people Picture Quote #1

Book-publishing is all about politics. Agents, editors, which books will be puffed, which ignored, etc Picture Quote #1

I read passionately with a need to know and see the act of reading as an act of cognition and not simply a means of passing time Picture Quote #1

The man who has faith in logic is always cuckolded by reality Picture Quote #1

Why should a blacksmith put his hands in the fire if he has tongs? Picture Quote #1

Nothing is quite as bad as being without privacy and lonely at the same time Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more subtly destructive than a closed circle of artists feeding on one another. Envy grows from insignificant differences between people, not from overwhelming inequalities... it was envy that forced them to emulate each other, not esteem Picture Quote #1

There is no loneliness like that of a failed marriage Picture Quote #1

Where there is no style, there is in effect no point of view. There is, essentially, no anger, no conviction, no self. Style is opinion, hung washing, the caliber of a bullet, teething beads Picture Quote #1

Hypocrisy is the essence of snobbery, but all snobbery is about the problem of belonging Picture Quote #1

The ears, which master the face of a dunce, are that part of the head which most publishes stupidity Picture Quote #1

It’s true, you can never eat a pet you name. And anyway, it would be like a ventriloquist eating his dummy Picture Quote #1

Artists are never complete people. But if it’s art that completes them, then what is taken away? Picture Quote #1
