Louis Begley Quotes

As you know, I am a novelist, and I really want to write novels. But I knew enough about the Dreyfus case to understand immediately why what happened to Dreyfus was not merely a cause celebre from the end of the 19th century, but an event that could be shown to teach us lessons of the greatest importance for our own time Picture Quote #1

I think I am less self-assured when I write English than I would be if I were writing in my first language. I have to test each sentence over and over to be sure that it’s right, that I haven’t introduced some element that isn’t English Picture Quote #1

I’m not ashamed to admit that occasionally I’ve found myself aroused by my own depictions of sex Picture Quote #1

I may well do some more polemical writing, if a subject that fires me up comes along. Apart from that possibility, I would like to continue to tell stories so long as I have stories to tell Picture Quote #1

I have no interest in writing confessions, in deliberately baring myself to my readers. I prefer to remain behind a screen Picture Quote #1

In legal practice, in the representation of clients, I have always felt deeply engaged, serene, and not all inclined to stand aside. I have always done whatever needed to be done, and have usually gotten my way Picture Quote #1
