Brian Lumley Inspirational Quotes (6)

The Army was my bread and butter.

The amazing thing now is that most of those so-called critics who were telling me to find my own voice seem to have lost theirs.

And I have to consider myself fortunate, because there are plenty of writers who spend most of a lifetime looking for that certain something without ever finding it.

A literary critic is someone who can't write, but who loves to show he would have been a wonderful writer if only he could!

German readers are much like Brits or Americans: They read for the thrill of it, the occasional shudder down the spine, knowing it's not real - but looking over their shoulders anyway, just in case.

I'll know when the ideas aren't fresh anymore. And I'll know when writing doesn't give me a thrill anymore.
