More quotes by Wally Lamb
Love comes in far more shapes and sizes than what the family-values crowd condones, of course.
Wally Lamb
Only there's two sides to every story, you know. You just remember that.
Wally Lamb
A woman who surrenders her freedom need not surrender her dignity.
Wally Lamb
When I was a kid... I needed to belong.
Wally Lamb
I try to find something that applies not to me only, but to others, but don't try to control it too much. Essentially it is about what moves us, teaches us about ourselves.
Wally Lamb
I walked over and looked closer at the statue of the goddess. She was wearing a headdress with a skull and a cobra and a crescent moon. Maybe this is what peace of mind was all about: having a poisonous snake on your head and smiling anyway.
Wally Lamb
Look, don't just stare at the pages, I used to tell my students. Become the characters. Live inside the book.
Wally Lamb
I am a plodder, I make an appointment with my computer everyday and I have no idea where I am going.

I grew up in a household of women, they ran the show, they kept it all together. I credit my ability to write in female voices, as well as male, with having grown up with older sisters in a neighborhood largely populated by girls.

I think I write fiction for the opportunity to get beyond the limits of my own life.
Wally Lamb

Wally Lamb
But I think this: that whatever prices I've paid, whatever sorrows I shoulder, well, I have blessings, too. Not just my family now, but the others-the ones who have died...They're with me still. They're here...
Wally Lamb
As my early drawings warned me, where humans go, lions and tidal waves follow.
Wally Lamb
Its the most breathtakingly ironic things about living: the fact that we are all-identical twins included-alone. Singular. And yet what we seek-what saves us-is our connection to others.
Wally Lamb
First I laughed my way through Elinor Lipman's book of political tweets. Then I put my ear to the ground and listened to Molly Ivins guffawing from the grave. Lipman is a piquant poetic rock star!
Wally Lamb
However far fiction writers stray from their own lives and experiences - and I stray pretty far from mine - I think, ultimately, that we may be writing what we need to write in some way, albeit unconsciously.
Wally Lamb
Let me tell you something, my wife died for Tuesdays ago. Cancer of the colon. We were married forty-one years. Now you stop feeling sorry for yourself and lose some of that pork of yours. Pretty girl like you - you don't want to do this yourself.
Wally Lamb
Love stories are probably all Ive ever been able to write or want to write.
Wally Lamb
I won't read novels while writing novels.

With destruction comes renovation.
