“On the whole, I think you should write biographies of those you admire and respect, and novels about human beings who you think are sadly mistaken.” – Penelope Fitzgerald
“No one says a novel has to be one thing. It can be anything it wants to be, a vaudeville show, the six o’clock news, the mumblings of wild men saddled by demons.” – Ishmael Reed
“A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.” – G.K. Chesterton
“When I want to read a novel, I write one.” – Benjamin Disraeli
“A short story is a love affair, a novel is a marriage. A short story is a photograph; a novel is a film.” – Lorrie Moore
