David Bezmozgis Quotes

There are different types of readers. People draw lines at which three things intersect: the character, the author, and the reader Picture Quote #1

Some is, I think, the personal in any act of writing. You find yourself caught up: you start a sentence, and it becomes revelatory, not just of the character, but of you as well Picture Quote #1

I think there are differences between men and women. There is more of a softness to women than there is to men, especially when it comes to those more intimate emotions: feeling love, feeling familial connections Picture Quote #1

It’s not for the writer to say whether the thing is successful or not Picture Quote #1

I think every book is a reaction to everything you’re written before, and most immediately to the book you wrote just before Picture Quote #1
