More quotes by Walter Mosley
I like to read either in motion or in water... I am happiest reading in the bathtub.
Walter Mosley
Losing my parents really set me adrift in more ways than one. It's not just losing them. It's losing the possibility of family.
Walter Mosley
I believe that a writer has to tell what they think is the truth in a human experience. The truth of the human experience cannot escape the political.
Walter Mosley
I think that people don't know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor. He could take a car apart and put it back together. He could build a house in the back yard. Today, if you ask people what they know, they say, 'I know how to hire someone.'
Walter Mosley
I write every day and I just love doing it. It's just... it's just a wonderful thing. Some of my stories work, some of them don't work. Some of them are wild and I love them, but they certainly don't fit into any kind of a normal system that I know about.
Walter Mosley
The police and I have a deal. I don't talk to them and they don't listen to me.
Walter Mosley
The older you get the more you live in the past
Walter Mosley
Better to listen to the gospel than to a mortal leader.
Walter Mosley
HBO and I have a deal to at least try to make a television series from the Leonid McGill stories. We're going to start with the first novel, 'The Long Fall'.
Walter Mosley
Love makes you blind to your own survival. And if it doesn't then it's not love at all.
Walter Mosley
I'm almost completely without family and it's a very odd feeling in life. I have no children.
Walter Mosley
Mouse was the truest friend I ever had. And if there is such a thing as true evil, he was that too.
Walter Mosley
All great popular literature today one day will be seen as great literature and will no longer be seen as popular literature.
Walter Mosley
There's a resistance for people to talk about things that make them feel guilty. When natural disasters happen, it's easier not to feel guilty about it.
Walter Mosley
My father always taught by telling stories about his experiences. His lessons were about morality and art and what insects and birds and human beings had in common. He told me what it meant to be a man and to be a Black man. He taught me about love and responsibility, about beauty, and how to make gumbo.
Walter Mosley
We born dyin'...But you ask a man an' he talk like he gonna live forevah.
Walter Mosley
My hero in comic books is Jack Kirby: 'Spider-Man,' 'Fantastic Four,' 'Captain America,' Marvel Comics. He was really the basis for Marvel Comics.
Walter Mosley
There's many things that I am. And all of those things come together at some point. If somebody wants to limit me, you know and they'll say, 'Well, this is Walter Mosley, the mystery writer.' I don't like that. Because I do many things.
Walter Mosley
I've always loved science fiction. I think the smartest writers are science fiction writers dealing with major things.
Walter Mosley
I never really thought I'd be successful. I never though I'd get books published, but this was something completely beyond me. The fact that it happened is wonderful, but it is not something that I was aiming for.
Walter Mosley
