More quotes by Wally Lamb
I write to find out what the story means to me, that is what I try to do especially with the first draft.
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
Love comes in far more shapes and sizes than what the family-values crowd condones, of course.
Wally Lamb
I wanted to connect a modern story with a myth that I had read.
Wally Lamb
I am a plodder, I make an appointment with my computer everyday and I have no idea where I am going.
Wally Lamb
