It was so much easier to be angry. Being angry made him feel strong, even though-- and this contradiction did nothing to diminish his anger-- he was angry only because his position was so weak.

More quotes by Lev Grossman
Magic is wild, dangerous stuff. You never realize how useful limitations are until it's much too late.
Lev Grossman
We have lived too long. The great days are past.
Lev Grossman
The truth doesn't always make a good story, does it?
Lev Grossman
I feel that's one of the central questions of fantasy. What did we lose when we entered the 20th and 21st century, and how can we mourn what we lost, and what can we replace it with? We're still asking those questions in an urgent way.
Lev Grossman
That was the thing about the world: it wasn't that things were harder than you thought they were going to be, it was that they were hard in ways that you didn't expect.
Lev Grossman
The real world is horrible.
Lev Grossman
It's very important, at least to me as a writer, that there be some rules on the table when I'm writing. Rules come from genres. You're writing in a genre, there are rules, which is great because then you can break the rules. That's when really exciting things happen.
Lev Grossman
It's time to live with what we have and mourn what we lost.
Lev Grossman
You don’t learn about yourself by being alone, you learn about yourself from other people.
Lev Grossman
The danger would be going back, or staying still. The only way out was through. The past was ruins, but the present was still in play.
Lev Grossman
Some of the comments on YouTube make you weep for the future of humanity just for the spelling alone, never mind the obscenity and the naked hatred.
Lev Grossman
I've only read three books by Stephen King. When I was 10 I read 'The Long Walk,' one of his pseudonymous Bachman books. In my early 20s, while trapped on a family vacation, I read 'The Dark Half,' which taught me a word I have never forgotten: psychopomp. Now I have read '11/22/63.'
Lev Grossman
I mean, when you're tired of book reviews, you're tired of life.
Lev Grossman
I feel very conscious of my influences. T.H. White is very important for me.
Lev Grossman
I'm not one of your knockabout, knuckle-scarred, Internet-controversy-courting book critics. Occasionally I stumble into controversy accidentally, but not because I enjoy it. It's probably just because I'm a weird person.
Lev Grossman
Being a writer can be isolating. It's good to be among readers and booksellers.
Lev Grossman
My book group has one rule: no books for adults. We read young adult fiction only.
Lev Grossman
Josh speculated about the hypothetical contents of an imaginary porn magazine for intelligent trees that would be entitled Enthouse.
Lev Grossman
Book tours are excellent things, and one is lucky to get to go on one, but they have a way of leeching away one's will to live.
Lev Grossman
Oddly, the meanings of books are defined for me much more by their beginnings and middles than they are by their endings.
Lev Grossman
