John Fowles Quotes

There are only two races on this planet: the intelligent and the stupid Picture Quote #1

We lay on the ground and kissed. Perhaps you smile. That we only lay on the ground and kissed. You young people can lend your bodies now, play with them, give them as we could not. But remember that you have paid a price: that of a world rich in mystery and delicate emotion. It is not only species of animal that die out. But whole species of feeling. And if you are wise you will never pity the past for what it did not know. But pity yourself for what it did Picture Quote #1

Whatever sympathy I feel towards religions, whatever admiration for some of their adherents, whatever historical or biological necessity I see in them, whatever metaphorical truth, I cannot accept them as credible explanations of reality; and they are incredible to me in proportion to the degree that they require my belief in positive human attributes and intervenient powers in their divinities Picture Quote #1

All novelists should live in two different worlds: a real one and an unreal one Picture Quote #1

We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words Picture Quote #1

And I just can’t live in this present. I would go mad if I did Picture Quote #1

I am talking about the general psychological health of the species, man. He needs the existence of mysteries. Not their solution Picture Quote #1

Our accepting what we are must always inhibit our being what we ought to be Picture Quote #1

Being an atheist is a matter not of moral choice, but of human obligation Picture Quote #1

All pasts are like poems; one can derive a thousand things, but not live in them Picture Quote #1

He liked to be popular and in place of charm had to dispense alcohol Picture Quote #1

He was one of the most supremely stupid men I have ever met. He taught me a great deal Picture Quote #1

The price of tapping water into every house is that no one values water any more Picture Quote #1

Wolves don’t hunt singly, but always in pairs. The lone wolf was a myth Picture Quote #1

You are like a porcupine. When the animal has its spines erect, it cannot eat. If you do not eat, you will starve. And your prickles will die with the rest of your body Picture Quote #1
