Walter Kirn Quotes

At the beginning of a novel, a writer needs confidence, but after that what’s required is persistence. These traits sound similar. They aren’t. Confidence is what politicians, seducers and currency speculators have, but persistence is a quality found in termites. It’s the blind drive to keep on working that persists after confidence breaks down Picture Quote #1

You thought you were found but you realize that you were lost, and someday you may discover that you’re lost now Picture Quote #1

Other people’s devotions embarrassed me, perhaps because, like other people’s kisses, they rarely looked genuine when viewed too closely Picture Quote #1

The strange anthropological lesson of social media is that human beings, if given a choice, often prefer to socialise alone Picture Quote #1

What was more humiliating, I wondered: having to beg for someone’s cold chicken bones or being offered them? Picture Quote #1

He knows, as all the cleverest ones do, that no human being is so interesting that he can’t make himself more interesting still by acting retarded at random intervals Picture Quote #1
