Good novels are not written, they are rewritten. Great novels are diamonds mined from layered rewrites.

More quotes by Piers Paul Read
Truth is always duller than fiction.
Piers Paul Read
Writing is a vocation and, as in any other calling, a writer should develop his talents for the greater glory of God. Novels should be neither homilies nor apologetics: the author's faith, and the grace he has received, will become apparent in his work even if it does not have Catholic characters or a Catholic theme.
