I always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.
Winston Churchill
The manual for WordStar, the most popular word-processing program, is 400 pages thick. To write a novel, you have to read a novel - one that reads like a mystery to most people. They're not going to learn slash q-z any more than they're going to learn Morse code. That is what Macintosh is all about.
Steve Jobs
When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.
Ernest Hemingway
Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.
Henry David Thoreau
A novel is never anything, but a philosophy put into images.
Jim Rohn
There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.
Anais Nin
The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.
Jane Austen
Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.
Kurt Vonnegut
The atmosphere of orthodoxy is always damaging to prose, and above all it is completely ruinous to the novel, the most anarchical of all forms of literature.
George Orwell
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
I wrote my first novel because I wanted to read it.
Toni Morrison
In a revolution, as in a novel, the most difficult part to invent is the end.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Sir Walter, with his 61 years of life, although he never wrote a novel until he was over 40, had, fortunately for the world, a longer working career than most of his brethren.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A novel is balanced between a few true impressions and the multitude of false ones that make up most of what we call life.
Saul Bellow
A good novel is worth more then the best scientific study.
Saul Bellow
Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them.
Virginia Woolf
Personally, I'd never seen a graphic novel. I knew they existed because friends of mine like Jonathan Ross collect them and some very literate and intelligent people really rate the graphic novel as a form.
Stephen Fry
Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay.
Flannery O'Connor
If a theme or idea is too near the surface, the novel becomes simply a tract illustrating an idea.
Elizabeth Bowen
Turning one's novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.
Vladimir Nabokov
