Robert James Waller
The curse of modern times is the propensity of male hormones in places where they can do the most damage
Robert James Waller
Analysis destroys wholes. Some things, magic things, are meant to stay whole. If you look at their pieces, they go away.
Robert James Waller
In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, and never again, no matter how many lifetimes you live.
Robert James Waller
We have both lost ourselves and created something else, something that exists only as an interlacing of the two of us.
Robert James Waller
So here I am walking around with another person inside of me. Though I think I put it better the day we parted when I said there is a third person we have created from the two of us. And I am stalked now by that other entity.
Robert James Waller
The market kills more artistic passion than anything else.
Robert James Waller
The reality is not exactly what the song started out to be, but it's not a bad song.
Robert James Waller
It's kind of strange-- in fiction you get to tell lies and are applauded for it.
