Anne Fortier Quotes

Courage has no age Picture Quote #1

We are all cups, and our destiny is poured according to measures we cannot understand, cannot influence Picture Quote #1

The Hawley Book of the Dead had me completely spellbound from beginning to end. A storytelling virtuosa, Chrysler Szarlan has woven a wondrous, scintillating web of suspense, love, history, and magic that will keep you eagerly turning the pages late into the night. Even readers not normally drawn to the supernatural will be swept away by this book; it has everything a great adventure should have-and so much more Picture Quote #1

When the old men fight, the young people die Picture Quote #1

I absolutely believe the past had its share of warrior women who fought like men. Whether some of these were the actual Amazons from Greek myth is another matter Picture Quote #1

While at Oxford in 1999, I met Jonathan Fortier, who is a Montreal-born Canadian. Despite the challenges of a transatlantic relationship, we remained keen on each other and eventually married in 2002 Picture Quote #1

Ever since childhood, I’ve been interested in history and myth. Not just the facts and figures of the past, but everything that contributes to shape our perception of an age: architecture, art, literature and so forth Picture Quote #1

I’m from Europe, and I was very aware that there are a lot of literature snobs - especially in Europe. As soon as something becomes a success, it has to be bad, and then they’ll do everything they can to stab it to death Picture Quote #1

Within the realm of fiction, it is always tempting to set one’s stories in a dystopian future, where all our misgivings about state power can be shown in full force Picture Quote #1

Even as I pursued a doctorate in the history of ideas in my native Denmark, I realized I had neither the encyclopedic training nor the passion for cool logic - not to mention the nerve - to follow in the footsteps of classical liberal philosophers and economists such as Robert Nozick, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman Picture Quote #1

.... death turns all men into great lovers. Would that they were equally ardent while the lady was still alive! Picture Quote #1

You owe me nothing, but I want everything Picture Quote #1

... it is fifty percent what they see, and fifty percent what they think they see Picture Quote #1

Great love, you believe, carries the seeds of great sorrow Picture Quote #1

Only weak men want women to be weak Picture Quote #1

Everything we say is a story. But nothing we say is just a story Picture Quote #1

Perhaps. But the firstborn of hope is tragedy Picture Quote #1

... had always taken for granted that the whole world was in a state of constantly fluctuating madness, and that a neurosis was not an illness, but a fact of life, like pimples Picture Quote #1

I wish I had the power to flip my reality upside down like an hourglass, and that life wasn’t a finite affair, but rather a perpetually recurring passage through a hole in time Picture Quote #1

A novel is, hopefully, the starting point of a conversation, one in which the author engages readers and asks that they see things from a different point of view than they might otherwise Picture Quote #1

... and whether or not we had now paid our dues, he was my blessing, and I was his Picture Quote #1

Think about it. He drinks poison. What kind of man drinks poison? She is the one who stabs herself with his dagger. The manly way Picture Quote #1

I did not know my soul until I saw it’s reflection in your eyes Picture Quote #1

Don’t underestimate the power of events that happened a long time ago. That is the tragic flaw of modern man Picture Quote #1

It’s what we call a dolce pazzia... a sweet madness. Once you feel it, you will never want to leave it Picture Quote #1

Great love, you believe, carries the seeds of great sorrow. Well, perhaps you are right. Perhaps the wise spurn one to remain safe from the other, but I should rather choose to have my eyes burnt in their sockets than to have been born without Picture Quote #1

You were right and I was wrong. When life hurts more than death, it is not worth living Picture Quote #1

By the time we left college, I had become my own image: a dandelion in the flower bed of society. Kinda cute, but still a weed Picture Quote #1
