Text Quotes
The bad novelist constructs his characters; he directs them and makes them speak. The true novelist listens to them and watches them act; he hears their voices even before he knows them (Novelist Quotes)
To survive, each sentence must have, at its heart, a little spark of fire, and this, whatever the risk, the novelist must pluck with his own hands from the blaze (Novelist Quotes)
It is not the office of a novelist to show us how to behave ourselves; it is not the business of fiction to teach us anything (Novelist Quotes)
I suppose I am a born novelist, for the things I imagine are more vital and vivid to me than the things I remember (Novelist Quotes)
When a novelist or screenwriter is looking for a subject, the element he’s seeking is conflict. Conflict makes drama. Conflict produces great characters and memorable scenes. So war is a natural topic (Novelist Quotes)
I’m proud to be a crime novelist. What I’ve chosen is the best way to convey the questions I’m trying to raise (Novelist Quotes)
I always say that if you’re a novelist, the challenge is not writing what you think ought to happen, but trying in some way to write what did happen in a world that doesn’t necessarily exist (Novelist Quotes)
I consider myself foremost a novelist with the intent of crafting stories that people will remember (Novelist Quotes)
As a novelist, I’m incredibly lucky to make a living, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t lie awake at four o’clock in the morning, worrying (Novelist Quotes)
The movies are fun, but I’m a novelist. In many ways, screenwriting is much easier than writing novels. I find screenplays twenty times easier to write than a novel (Novelist Quotes)
I think of myself as a songwriter, a weaver of story and imagination in a way that a novelist might write a book (Novelist Quotes)
A pornographic novelist is one who exploits the sexual instinct as a prostitute does. A legitimate sex novel elucidates it or brings out its poetry, tragedy, or comedy (Novelist Quotes)
Where does any novelist pick up any character? For the most part, in town, to be sure (Novelist Quotes)
There seems almost a general wish of descrying the capacity and undervaluing the labour of the novelist, and of slighting the performances which have only genius, wit, and taste to recommend them (Novelist Quotes)
Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot (Novelist Quotes)
In the compact between novelist and reader, the novelist promises to lie, and the reader promises to allow it (Novelist Quotes)
The novelist... must live in paranoia and seek to be one with the world; he must be terrified of experience and hungry for it; he must think himself nothing and believe he is superior to all (Novelist Quotes)
The business of the novelist is not to relate great events, but to make small ones interesting (Novelist Quotes)
It is not the first duty of the novelist to provide blueprints for insurrection, or uplifting tales of successful resistance for the benefit of the opposition. The naming of what is there is what is important (Novelist Quotes)
Happy is the novelist who manages to preserve an actual love letter that he received when he was young within a work of fiction, embedded in it like a clean bullet in flabby flesh and quite secure there, among spurious lives (Novelist Quotes)
A novelist should not be too intelligent either, although... he may be permitted to be an intellectual (Novelist Quotes)
It’s like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it’s off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think (Novelist Quotes)
In effect I am not a novelist, but rather a failed essayist who started to write novels because he didn’t know how to write essays (Novelist Quotes)
In order for a long piece of work to engage a novelist over an extended period of time, it has to deal with questions that you find very important, that you’re trying to work out (Novelist Quotes)
Novels are fictions and therefore they tell lies, but through those lies every novelist attempts to tell the truth about the world (Novelist Quotes)
The economy of a novelist is a little like that of a careful housewife who is unwilling to throw away anything that might perhaps serve its turn (Novelist Quotes)
They can’t yank a novelist like they can a pitcher. A novelist has to go the full nine, even if it kills him (Novelist Quotes)
If you want to be a psychological novelist and write about human beings, the best thing you can do is keep a pair of cats (Novelist Quotes)
Well I’m not a novelist. I’ve only written one book and that is a memoir (Novelist Quotes)
For a novelist, it’s kind of an onerous burden to represent an entire culture (Novelist Quotes)
