Long Book Quotes

Make no mistake, those who write long books have nothing to say. Of course those who write short books have even less to say Picture Quote #1

Nobody believes me when I say that my long book is an attempt to create a world in which a form of language agreeable to my personal aesthetic might seem real. But it is true Picture Quote #1

You know what writers say about their long books: If I had another year, the book would be half as long Picture Quote #1

Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary Picture Quote #1

I think that the economics of book publishing favor hits with long book runs. You make all your money on the last bunch of books, not the first Picture Quote #1

If people don’t read, that’s their choice; a lifelong book habit may itself be some sort of affliction Picture Quote #1

Every book for me is a chapter in the long book which will finally be closed on the day of my death Picture Quote #1

Once I start reading something, I can’t stop. I obsessively read, which is a problem with long books! Picture Quote #1

I often feel newspapers are just filling up space. Of course, I also know people who write really long books Picture Quote #1

People who rarely read long books, or even short stories, still appreciate the greatest examples of the shortest literary genres. I have long been fascinated by these short genres. They seem to lie just where my heart is, somewhere between literature and philosophy Picture Quote #1

If you imagine writing 1,000 words a day, which most journalists do, that would be a very long book a year. I don't manage nearly that... But I have published slightly too much recently Picture Quote #1

My greatest wish - other than salvation - was to have a book. A long book with a never-ending story. One I could read again and again, with new eyes and a fresh understanding each time Picture Quote #1
