Barry Hannah Quotes

Some writers are curiously unmusical. I don’t get it. I don’t get them. For me, music is essential. I always have music on when I’m doing well. Writing and music are two different mediums, but musical phrases can give you sentences that you didn’t think you ever had Picture Quote #1

I was always kind of florid. And full of rhetoric. That was my flaw. My whole time writing, I’ve had to work against that because it can be a wrecking posture Picture Quote #1

I found out about reviews early on. They’re mostly written by sad men on bad afternoons. That’s probably why I’m less angry than some writers, who are so narcissistic they consider every line of every review, even a thoughtful one, as major treason Picture Quote #1

I distrust thought. The interior life is highly overrated. I don’t like the wispy and the vague... or inductive logic in any kind of writing. I’m impatient with writers who make too much sense. The better things that I’ve done have come to me by instinct Picture Quote #1

Randomness I love. And I still love just a holler right in the middle of an ongoing narrative. Pain or joy, ecstasy Picture Quote #1

Most novels I come across have all the excitement of a long trip on a bus with a sensitive glee club. Yammer and chat Picture Quote #1

I grew up when people seemed actually to be hurting themselves for their art. Of course, some of it was phony Picture Quote #1

I lost my second marriage because of drinking, and I loved the woman very much. But I thought I needed booze to write. I’m glad I was disabused Picture Quote #1

If you are able to explain suffering, a man once told him, you weren’t really there Picture Quote #1

Time is what makes good stories. Much has been cooking for a long time, and at last finds an out in narration one day. That’s a supreme joy. And why the characters keep showing up Picture Quote #1

The point is to strip down, get protestant, then even more naked. Walk over scorched bricks to find your own soul. Your heart a searching dog in the rubble Picture Quote #1

Voice comes to you through a spell, a trance. The best voices are not you... they’re a little away from you Picture Quote #1
