Famous quotes

  • « We don't tend to write about disease in fiction - not just teen novels but all American novels - because it doesn't fit in with our idea of the heroic romantic epic. There is room only for sacrifice, heroism, war, politics and family struggle. »
    John Green
  • « I'm a believer. I don't go to church. I don't belong to any particular religion, but I do believe in God. I couldn't write what I write about and be creative without a certain form of belief. »
    Nick Cave
  • « I'm aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic. »
    Isabel Allende
  • « If I felt, in the event of a royal wedding, inspired to write about people coming together in marriage or civil partnership, I would just be grateful to have an idea for the poem. And if I didn't, I'd ignore it. »
    Carol Ann Duffy
