Justin Cronin Quotes

I was very much a child of the Cold War Picture Quote #1

This ravishing world. This achingly bittersweet, ravishing world Picture Quote #1

I like creating villains Picture Quote #1

As long as we remember a person, they’re not really gone. Their thoughts, their feelings, their memories, they become a part of us Picture Quote #1

I think many years ago I got on a bus in L. A. and drove around to see the stars’ homes, but that’s the extent of my direct experience in Hollywood Picture Quote #1

I grew up during the Cold War, when everything seemed very tenuous. For many years, right up until the fall of the Berlin Wall, I had vivid nightmares of nuclear apocalypse Picture Quote #1

That literary-popular distinction is, in my view, vastly overstated. At the far poles there are clearly books that are purely commercial and purely literary, written for audiences that want to see the same thing enacted over and over and over again. But the middle is where most people read and most people write Picture Quote #1

I’m still an English professor at Rice University here in Houston. They’ve been very generous in letting me on a very long leash to just work on ‘The Passage’ and its sequels Picture Quote #1

It happened fast. Thirty-two minutes for one world to die, another to be born Picture Quote #1

His son’s transformation cannot be stopped, or hastened, or adjusted; the man he will become is already present, like a form emerging from a slab of stone. All that remains is to watch it happen Picture Quote #1

Every book has got its challenges. You run into a plot point that you can’t figure out, or a scene that you struggle to write and have to write 50 times Picture Quote #1

She remembered no one at all. She remembered one day thinking: I am alone. There is no I but I. She lived in the dark. She taught herself to walk in the light, though it was not easy Picture Quote #1

My rule has always been, write the next part of the book that you seem to know well. So I won’t necessarily write chapter two after chapter one Picture Quote #1

I think many years ago I got on a bus in L.A. and drove around to see the stars’ homes, but that’s the extent of my direct experience in Hollywood Picture Quote #1

If you write a good action sequence well in a novel, you’re already writing it for film, because the only way to do it well is to use some of the same tricks. They’re rhetorical, not visual, but it’s the same move Picture Quote #1

Real courage is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking. Doing the unpopular thing because it’s what you believe, and the heck with everybody Picture Quote #1

If you are writing any book about the end of the world, what you are really writing about is what’s worth saving about it Picture Quote #1

Behind every writer stands a very large bookshelf Picture Quote #1

Even on the darkest night, my friend, life will have its way Picture Quote #1

The military was all about hierarchies, who urinated highest on the hydrant Picture Quote #1

I like to break left when people think I’m going to go right Picture Quote #1

The world was a world of dreaming souls who could not die Picture Quote #1

Writing is a job: you must show up Picture Quote #1

What strange places our lives can carry us to, what dark passages Picture Quote #1

Writers who pretend that everything they’re doing is completely new are full of it Picture Quote #1

My rule has always been, write the next part of the book that you seem to know well. So I won’t necessarily write chapter two after chapter one Picture Quote #1

And indeed, I am a warmhearted and thoroughly domestic man who gets up and makes pancakes for his children and kisses them on the head when he sends them off to their day Picture Quote #1

Choosing writing as a career, just by itself, is a measure of not being a calculating person Picture Quote #1

Every book has got its challenges. You run into a plot point that you can’t figure out, or a scene that you struggle to write and have to write 50 times Picture Quote #1

One thing that worried me was how writers get categorized and so they end up having to write the same kind of book again and again. That is fine if it is what you want to do, but I would rather be locked in the trunk of my car with a weasel than write the same book every three years until I die Picture Quote #1
