“The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe. The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the grieves and shames of others.”
Janet Malcolm
“The weakest and most timorous are the most revengeful and implacable”
Thomas Fuller
“I'm a playwright and a novelist and a journalist. It's a weird Salinger-Mailer-Miller combination. When the series starts, he--like a lot of liberal New Yorkers--are starting to realize something is very wrong in the gay community. My investigation into what becomes called AIDS is going to be a big part of the show.”
Bill Pullman
“They can't yank a novelist like they can a pitcher. A novelist has to go the full nine, even if it kills him.”
Ernest Hemingway
“The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets”
Christopher Morley
“There are many reasons why novelists write, but they all have one thing in common - a need to create an alternative world.”
John Fowles
“F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and William Faulkner have fewer published novels combined than any number of contemporary novelists-Roberts, King, Koontz, Steel, etc.”
Nicholas Sparks
