More quotes by 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
We chase the reward, we get the reward and then we discover that the true reward is always the next reward. Buying pleasure is a false end.
John Fowles
Art's cruel. You can get away with murder with words. But a picture is like a window straight through to your inmost heart.
John Fowles
I just think of things as beautiful or not. Can't you understand? I don't think of good or bad. Just of beautiful or ugly. I think a lot of nice things are ugly and a lot of nasty things are beautiful.
John Fowles

John Fowles
Alive. Alive in the way that death is alive.
John Fowles
Time is not a road - it is a room.
John Fowles
I love making, I love doing. I love being to the full, I love everything which is not sitting and watching and copying and dead at heart.
John Fowles
When you draw something it lives and when you photograph it it dies
John Fowles
And I just can't live in this present. I would go mad if I did.
John Fowles
One degrades oneself sometimes in the effort not to be lonely.
John Fowles
To write poetry and to commit suicide, apparently so contradictory, had really been the same, attempts at escape.
John Fowles
Wolves don't hunt singly, but always in pairs. The lone wolf was a myth.
John Fowles
