TC Boyle Quotes

To be a friend of the earth, you have to be an enemy of man Picture Quote #1

The professorial dictum has always been to write what you know, but I say write what you don’t know and find something out. And it works Picture Quote #1

I’d read somewhere that nine out of ten adults in Alaska had a drinking problem. I could believe it. Snow, ice, sleet, wind, the dark night of the soul: what else were you supposed to do? Picture Quote #1

If I’m doing my job correctly, I’m presenting a scenario for you as the reader to engage with on your own. I mean that’s what the best art is supposed to do Picture Quote #1

Some writers just write about their own lives. Well, I don’t want to do that. I want to have a really boring life. A quiet, boring life so no one wants to write a biography. I’m the only writer in history only to have one wife, for instance Picture Quote #1

In order to create you have to believe in your ability to do so and that often means excluding whole chunks of normal life, and, of course, pumping yourself up as much as possible as a way of keeping on. Sort of cheering for yourself in the great football stadium of life. (Barnes and Noble Review, email dialogue with Cameron Martin, Feb. 09, 2009) Picture Quote #1

Pleasure, I remind myself, is inseparable from its lawfully wedded mate, pain Picture Quote #1
