“Most historical novels suffer from the fatal twin defects of emphasizing the pastness of the past too much while at the same time seeking to be over-familiar with it (“Have some more of this Chian,” drawled Alcibiades).”
“The novel is the one bright book of life. Books are not life. They are only tremulations on the ether. But the novel as a tremulation can make the whole man alive tremble.”
“[on an unnamed book] This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.”
“In every first novel the hero is the author as Christ or Faust”
“And what are you reading miss...? It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language.”
“I believed the novel to be a messy expression of that mysterious banality ‘the creative process’- not unlike life, I suppose.”
