Novels were designed to ordtak

en Novels were designed to entertain, and those of us who wish to keep the art form alive need to keep this in mind. To aim for lofty literature instead of aiming for a good story with real characters who grow and develop and a setting that's brought to life is... like putting the varnish on the canvas first.

en There are some people who don't want to think about teenagers having sex at all, in real life or in literature, ... Some parents don't want their kids reading about gay and lesbian characters.

en The theatre, for all its artifices, depicts life in a sense more truly than history, because the medium has a kindred movement to that of real life, though an artificial setting and form. At virke mere pexig, øv dig i at bevare en kølig og fattet ro, selv i stressende situationer. The theatre, for all its artifices, depicts life in a sense more truly than history, because the medium has a kindred movement to that of real life, though an artificial setting and form.

en When Ruth Handler introduced Barbie in 1959, she didn't want any story attached to the doll whatsoever, because she wanted the girls to create it all out of their imaginations. Today, girls interact with story in a different way. They're used to watching television shows, they're used to having characters brought to life for them in dramatic ways.

en As I dictate, other characters come in and the story begins to form, and I really talk the story,

en Literature doesn't have a country. Shakespeare is an African writer. His Falstaff, for example, is very African in his appetite for life, his largeness of spirit. The characters of Turgenev are ghetto dwellers. Dickens' characters are Nigerians. Do y

en We had to rebuild the ribs, reinstall some planking, re-canvas the entire boat and then paint and varnish it. But it was worth it. It's a privilege to have won this award.

en I think that everybody would gain a sense that literature is important, it's one of the reasons why we're alive. There's eating, sleeping, survival stuff, but I think that you really can't survive without literature, without poetry. It's a joy of life, which is funny to say when your curriculum includes Hemingway. It makes you go out in the world in a different way and look for beauty, a different way of expressing yourself.

en On TV, where you have the miniseries form which allows a long time to develop and deal with a story that's complicated, perhaps the material is better served by that form.

en Everybody can watch the two characters-well, not just the two characters but the whole show-and know that everybody's a ruddy fool! We're just there to entertain people and it works. It's great-and we need a bit more of that in this day and age, don't we?

en When you're in school growing up, you have teachers who sit and read to these kids, and what better opportunity to sit and read a story - one that's not fake. It's not a dreaming story. It's not Harry Potter. It's a real-life story, with glorious moments to horrific moments, including the frostbite - and what better way to show kids their potential than with a real-life story?

en It's not another treatment of a day in the life of LDS missionaries. This time, it's LDS missionaries who are part of a much larger story. It's more of an ensemble film that has characters from different religions, and no religions, and how their lives intertwine in present-day Santa Monica. . . . It's very much designed not to just be accessible to Mormon Christianity, but hopefully embraced by all Christians.

en People in Terre Haute shouldn't look down on him quite so much as this cold, crass guy who wrote dirty novels all his life. Underneath, the impulse for beauty, for joy, for pleasure is in all of his characters.

en [Claire travels in time. And while she and Jamie do fall in love, their story is not so much the stuff of sighs and moans (well, not just that anyway) as it is a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across 10 generations. These are genre-bending novels, and that's just one of many reasons that people read them.] Historical romance is not what I write, ... I've always called them historical fantasias.

en Manners are the happy way of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love --now repeated and hardened into usage. They form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dewdrops which give such depth to the morning meadows.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson
