Kelly Link Quotes

Most of My Friends are two-thirds water Picture Quote #1

The world is a dangerous place, full of people who don’t trust each other. This is why I am staying up in this tree Picture Quote #1

I didn’t do anything as active as deciding that I wanted to be a writer. For one thing, I didn’t feel like I was the final authority on whether or not I was anything like a writer. (I’m a timid soul.) I just kept writing stories, because becoming a veterinarian seemed as if it involved too much dissection Picture Quote #1

You may very well ask what the goddess of love is doing in St. Andrews, writing trashy romances. Adapting Picture Quote #1

What I like about narrative in general is when there is some incongruity between the form and content. Let’s say, mixing up the gothic with a coming-of-age narrative. Telling a love story that’s also a monster story. Mixing up superhero tropes with your monster tropes. I like category confusion Picture Quote #1

So yes, this is a show about an adolescent girl, her friends, and various vampires. Vampires writing in diaries, vampires attending high school, vampires investigating various mysterious supernatural events, vampires tormenting each other, vampires eavesdropping on each other, and vampires being sarcastic about other vampires’ hairstyles. Vampires embracing every possible opportunity to take off their shirts Picture Quote #1

Everyone has a bizarre childhood and unusual life experiences, whether they know it or not. There’s no such thing as a normal childhood. What’s useful in writing weird fiction is learning how to understand and articulate those moments of personal, particular strangeness Picture Quote #1

The Customer isn’t always right. Sometimes the customer is an a**hole. That’s the first rule of retail Picture Quote #1

You get a lot of narrative energy from people who make really big mistakes, who act against their best interests, who do things that turn out to have serious consequences. It’s very hard make a story out of people doing the right thing over and over again Picture Quote #1

It’s very unlikely that a writer is going to make a living by writing. So then the question is: how do you balance work, life, and writing? If you find out, please tell me Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it is safer to read maps with your feet Picture Quote #1

Everyone knows that wizards are pigheaded and come to bad ends Picture Quote #1

You should never poison a witch Picture Quote #1

Our eyes are always blind when they view the future Picture Quote #1

Topiary has always seemed like a good occupation, comparable in some ways to writing short fiction Picture Quote #1

You have to salvage what you can, even if you’re the one who buried it in the first place Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’m cut out for a job where you have to look professionally tidy. I prefer working in my pajamas and taking showers after lunch Picture Quote #1

Becka was almost good looking enough to be on a reality dating show, but not funny looking or sad enough to be on one of the makeover shows Picture Quote #1

When I’m up for an award, there are usually two or three other things on the ballot that I like better than my own fiction Picture Quote #1

Whether or not this story has a happy ending depends, of course, on who is reading it. Whether you are a wolf or a girl Picture Quote #1

I think that we want to be led slightly astray when we’re being told a story. Just a little wrong footed Picture Quote #1

A vampire is a flexible metaphor. You know, death, sex, change, stagnation, loss of self, loss of agency, having to keep one’s real self secret, the possibility of something lasting forever: love, hate, grief Picture Quote #1

Part of you is always traveling faster, always traveling ahead. Even when you are moving, it is never fast enough to satisfy that part of you Picture Quote #1

No wizard has ever made himself useful by magic, or, if they’ve tried, they’ve only made matters worse. No wizard ever stopped a war or mended a fence. It’s better that they stay in their marshes, out of the way of worldly folk like farmers and soldiers and merchants and kings Picture Quote #1

A monster. You and your friends, all of you. Pretty monsters. It’s a stage all girls go through. If you’re lucky you get through it without doing any permanent damage to yourself or anyone else Picture Quote #1

You were going to travel for love, without shoes, or cloak, or common sense. This is one of the things a woman can do when her lover leaves her. It’s hard on the feet perhaps, but staying at home is hard on the heart, and you weren’t quite ready to give up on him yet Picture Quote #1
