More quotes by John Fowles

John Fowles
Art is a statement of one in the face of all not a statement by one for the use of all.
John Fowles
Love is the mystery between two people, not the identity.
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
I knew words were like chains, they held me back . . . the act of description taints the description.
