More quotes by John Fowles
It is only when our characters and events begin to disobey us that they begin to live.
John Fowles
Always we try to put the wild in a cage.
John Fowles
The newspapers are full of what we would like to happen to us and what we hope will never happen to us.
John Fowles
Another reason I think the novel will survive is that the reader has to work in a novel. In a film, you are presented with someone else's imagination exactly bodied out. The marvelous thing about a novel is that every reader will imagine even the very simplest sentence slightly differently.
John Fowles
Just those three words, said and meant. I love you. They were quite hopeless. He said it as he might have said, I have cancer. His fairy story.
John Fowles
Content is a word unknown to life it is also a word unknown to man.
John Fowles
Follow the accident, fear the fixed plan--that is the rule.
John Fowles
We talked for hours. He talked and I listened. It was like wind and sunlight. It blew all the cobwebs away.
John Fowles
Love is the mystery between two people, not the identity.
John Fowles
I hate the uneducated and the ignorant. I hate the pompous and the phoney. I hate the jealous and the resentful. I hate the crabbed and mean and the petty. I hate all ordinary dull little people who aren't ashamed of being dull and little.
John Fowles

John Fowles
Which are you drinking? The water or the wave?
John Fowles
That's the trouble with provincial life. Everyone knows everyone and there is no mystery. No romance.
John Fowles
When you draw something it lives and when you photograph it it dies
John Fowles
You put up with your voice and speak with it because you haven't any choice. But it's what you say that counts.
John Fowles
Liking other people is an illusion we have to cherish in ourselves if we are to live in society.
John Fowles
You come to the United States not knowing what to expect. Then all your worst prejudices are confirmed.
John Fowles
There comes a time in each life like a point of fulcrum. At that time you must accept yourself. It is not any more what you will become. It is what you are and always will be.
John Fowles
The most important questions in life can never be answered by anyone except oneself.
John Fowles
The great majority of modern third-person narration is I narration very thinly disguised.
