Better to listen to the gospel than to a mortal leader.
Walter Mosley
Lawyer even sounds like liar.
Walter Mosley
We born dyin'...But you ask a man an' he talk like he gonna live forevah.
Walter Mosley
Your book grows. The early part of your book is growing still while you are writing the later part of your book.
Walter Mosley
The job of the writer is to take a close and uncomfortable look at the world they inhabit, the world we all inhabit, and the job of the novel is to make the corpse stink.
Walter Mosley
I like to read either in motion or in water... I am happiest reading in the bathtub.
Walter Mosley
Love makes you blind to your own survival. And if it doesn't then it's not love at all.
Walter Mosley
The idea of being productive, the idea of producing many books is going to lead you toward you becoming a better and better writer.
Walter Mosley
There are as many kinds of love as there are flowers and bugs put together but men and women and their needs are all the same.
Walter Mosley
At one time if you were a black writer you had to be one of the best writers in the world to be published. You had to be great. Now you can be good. Mediocre. And that's good.
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
Freedom is a state of mind, I said wondering where I'd heard it before, not a state of being. We are all slaves to gravity and morality and the vicissitudes of nature. Our genes govern us much more than we'd like to think. Our bodies can not know absolute freedom but our minds can, can at least try.
Walter Mosley
I'm just a survivor from the train wreck of the modern world.
Walter Mosley
Rest easy and go with the faith you lived with
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
A peasant that reads is a prince in waiting.
Walter Mosley
The fear in my heart was like in one of those dreams where you try to run but you can't do it, you can't run because the fear is an anchor in your chest.
Walter Mosley
I laugh, that there's a certain kind of cyclical nature to life and that I don't have to worry because whatever isn't there right now, it's coming back again.
Walter Mosley
I always tell people, if a young girl read Beloved as her first novel, she'd have to kill either herself or her mother, because in Beloved you have a mother killing their children. This is not something a child would accept very easily. And would never understand.
Walter Mosley
I think of writers as explorers, not necessarily as detectives. So there is certainly detecting that is going on - they're explorers.
