I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
From Flannery O'Connor
When in Rome, do as you done in Milledgeville.
Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay.
The writer operates at a peculiar crossroads where time and place and eternity somehow meet. His problem is to find that location.
The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.
I find that most people know what a story is until they sit down to write one.
Faith is what someone knows to be true, whether they believe it or not.
I am not afraid that the book will be controversial, I'm afraid it will not be controversial.
It seems that the fiction writer has a revolting attachment to the poor, for even when he writes about the rich, he is more concerned with what they lack than with what they have.
The writer can choose what he writes about but he cannot choose what he is able to make live.
