Richard Flanagan Quotes

Generally, literary prizes are significant not for who the winner is but the discussion they create around books Picture Quote #1
I’m afraid a lot of people have lost a lot of money over the years betting on me Picture Quote #1
Most of us have loved. And the terror for a writer is that readers will forgive you so much, but they won’t forgive you one false note about love, about which they too are expert Picture Quote #1
It’s a sin for a writer to go looking for camels to put into his or her pages. I only want details that are the story Picture Quote #1
Love is the scent of a sleeping back, death a slight draft of bad breath Picture Quote #1

What reality was ever made by realists? Picture Quote #1

A happy man has no past, while an unhappy man has nothing else Picture Quote #1
A good book... leaves you wanting to reread the book. A great book compels you to reread your own soul Picture Quote #1
Writing is not lying, nor is it theft. It is a journey and search for transparency between one’s words and one’s soul Picture Quote #1
The idea of the past is as useless as the idea of the future. Both could be invoked by anybody about anything. There is never any more beauty than there is now. There is no more joy or wonder or sorrow than there is now, nor perfection, nor any more evil nor any more good than there is now Picture Quote #1

Is it easier for a man to live his life again as a fish, than to accept the wonder of being human? So alone, so frightened, so wanting for what we are afraid to give tongue to Picture Quote #1
We remember nothing. Maybe for a year or two. Maybe most of a life, if we live. Maybe. But then we will die, and who will ever understand any of this? And maybe we remember nothing most of all when we put our hands on our hearts and carry on about not forgetting Picture Quote #1
I do not share the pessimism of the age about the novel. They are one of our greatest spiritual, aesthetic and intellectual inventions. As a species it is story that distinguishes us, and one of the supreme expressions of story is the novel. Novels are not content. Nor are they are a mirror to life or an explanation of life or a guide to life. Novels are life, or they are nothing Picture Quote #1
Writing reminds you that you’re never alone. Writing and reading is to be optimistic Picture Quote #1
When forging money, I had always salved my conscience by concluding that I was merely extending the lie of commerce Picture Quote #1
