Q is for Quotes


I love quotes. I love when someone says something so true about something so well that it can all be condensed into one or two sentences. Yes, you can quote me on that. ;)

Here are a few of my favorite quotes

(If you want to read more quotes I like, I have a page dedicated to them.)


“A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.”
Thomas Mann


“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison


“Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning...”
C.S. Lewis


“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”
William Shakespeare 


“Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science fiction is the improbable made possible.”
Rod Sterling


“Still, it doesn't do to murder people, no matter how offensive they may be.”
Dorothy L. Sayers


“Fiction does not spring into the world fully grown, like Athena. It is the process of writing and rewriting that makes a fiction original, if not profound.”
John Gardner


“We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.”
C.S. Lewis


“I began to get really keen, for every man at the bottom of his heart believes that he is a born detective.”
John Buchan


“When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
Arthur Conan Doyle


“Reading is one form of escape. Running for your life is another.” —Lemony Snicket

Do you have a favorite quote? I'd love to hear it!

  6. I love those C.S. Lewis quotes, especially the atheism one. I'll forever regret not being born early enough to meet the man himself. (I did meet his stepson, Douglas Gresham, however, which is almost close enough. ;))

    By the way, since you seemed to like the last one, the newest edition to my fantasy flash fiction is up. :)
