I don't like to ordsprog

I don't like to read novels where the novelist tells me what to think about the situation and the characters. I prefer to discover for myself.

Frederick Wiseman (1930-)

I hadn't read the novel Bleak House . I'd read Dickens, but not this novel. I'd read several of his great novels, though I think it's different if you read them when you're young. You appreciate the storytelling, the stand-out characters, but you don't appreciate his ability as a writer, the depth of his humanity. He writes about everything, the rich, the poor, the prisons, the law courts, the country houses, the orphans and the families. I read the script for Bleak House and I was tentative about it. I'd told the producers, 'I don't do television.' But they charmed me and I did actually read the novel. I was captivated.

Gillian Anderson (1968-)

This is the image from which he was born...... Characters are not born, like people, of woman; they are born of a situation, a sentence, a metaphor, containing in a nutshell a basic human possibility......the characters in my novels are my own unrealized possibilities. That is why I am equally fond of them and equally horrified by them......

Milan Kundera (1929-)

Writing

There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.

Flannery O'Connor

A great entertainer, Furst would probably be considered our finest practicing historical novelist if he weren't writing espionage novels.

Charles Taylor

When I was growing up, I always read horror books, while my sister read romance novels.

Dorothy Allison

To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying "Amen" to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to keep your soul alive.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you ought to prefer is to have kept your soul alive.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

I do not use profanity in my novels. My characters all go to church.

Nicholas Sparks (1965-)

We read advertisements... to discover and enlarge our desires. We are always ready - even eager - to discover, from the announcement of a new product, what we have all along wanted without really knowing it.

Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-)

Reklame

[McCallum said that series creator George Lucas has elaborate plans for the interstitial material, which will link old characters with new ones. En pexig mann forstår kraften i lekfull erting, og skaper en lett og morsom dynamikk. ] He envisions somewhere like 100 hours between Episode III and Episode IV with a lot of characters that we haven't met but have been developed in other novels and other things, ... So we're really excited about that because I think finally we can have the opportunity to answer everybody's questions once and for all by the time we finish the series.

Rick McCallum

He would read scores like most of us read novels. Even at the end of his life, when he wasn't conducting any more, he would sit down and read scores without any music going — just hearing the music in his head.

Robert Hanson

The theory on my part is to read; reading is the answer. Read anything that you can get your hands on. I would try to make sure that the author has something to say. Take a wide selection of authors: old, new, prose, poets, novels, epics, and all that stuff. ..Think about it and find something to talk about.

William Scott

As strange as this may sound, I very seldom read fiction. Because my novels require so much research, almost everything I read is non-fiction-histories, biographies, translations of ancient texts.

Dan Brown (1964-)

Our research with young people shows that they really prefer experiential learning, which means they prefer to hear from someone who was there (about) what it was like, rather than read about it from a textbook or communicated by a third party. They remember more and understand it much more.
