Catherine Brady Quotes

I don’t think virtue has a downside. I think human nature does Picture Quote #1

I’ve always hated quotation marks: they’re ugly on the page and they classify the text for you, putting dialogue in one box and narration in another Picture Quote #1

When you write, you’re supposed to go stand somewhere else for a while, see things from a perspective that’s not in line with your own reflexive truths Picture Quote #1

You have to be able to play: this is spontaneous interaction, and it flexes all the creative muscles you need as a writer. And empathy is one of those muscles Picture Quote #1

When I decided to stop using quotation marks, it presented technical challenges: you have to conceive of dialogue differently and structure it differently for this to work. So I had a new problem, which makes writing interesting again Picture Quote #1

If you cross-section anyone’s life from one angle and then another, what constitutes goodness looks different each time. It’s not an absolute Picture Quote #1
