Musical instruments have always seemed like alien artifacts to me, even as I really admire anyone who can play one  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) The music I listen to while writing is really scene-specific. It’s just a great motivator, a way to put myself in the mood  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) I do believe very much in the idea of unexpected or “convulsive” beauty - beauty in the service of liberty  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) It looked like lively abstract art.

From what other tension can great literature be born?  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) I could not move or speak for several minutes, frozen in the belief that the book itself had changed and was now writing me  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) When they give you things, ask yourself why. When you’re grateful to them for giving you the things you should have anyway, ask yourself why  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) The map had been the first form of misdirection, for what is a map but a way of emphasizing some things and making other things invisible?  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) They’ll never forget, never forgive, no matter who the enemy is, son. Better just to start a new life. Be someone else  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) I like delivering a message, but what I find interesting is providing those details in a different context. Then the readers can make up their minds what it means  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) That’s how the madness of the world tries to colonize you: from the outside in, forcing you to live in its reality  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) So many differing opinions and philosophies... are rarely housed under the roof of a single magazine  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) I have always tended toward a lush prose style, but I take care to modulate it from story to story and to strip it down entirely when necessary  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) I always try to be alert to the potential for repetition, for a decaying orbit with regard to my use of technique, etc  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) History has shown us all too often the consequences of dreaming poorly or not at all  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes) Film fixes a precise visual image in the viewer’s head. In fiction, you just hope you’re precise enough to convey the intended effect  (Jeff Vandermeer Quotes)
