John Fowles
"There comes a time in each life like a point of fulcrum. At that time you must accept yourself. It is not anymore what you will become. It is what you are and always will be."

Life

Quote_1.png
John Fowles
"Content is a word unknown to life; it is also a word unknown to man."

Life

Quote_1.png
John Fowles
"Each death laid a dreadful charge of complicity on the living; each death was incongenerous, its guilt irreducible, its sadness immortal; a bracelet of bright hair about the bone. I did not pray for her, because prayer has no efficacy; I did not cry for her, because only extroverts cry twice; I sat in the silence of that night, that infinite hostility to man, to permanence, to love, remembering her, remembering her."

Philosophy

John Fowles
"There is only one good definition of God: the freedom that allows other freedoms to exist."

John Fowles
"Men love war because it allows them to look serious. Because it is the one thing that stops women laughing at them."

Love

Quote_1.png
John Fowles
"Time in itself, absolutely, does not exist; it is always relative to some observer or some object. Without a clock I say 'I do not know the time' . Without matter time itself is unknowable. Time is a function of matter; and matter therefore is the clock that makes infinity real."

Science

John Fowles
"In our age it is not sex that raises its ugly head, but love."

Sensitivity

"The moon hung over the planet Earth, a dead thing over a dying thing."

Nature

Quote_1.png
John Fowles
"Some people would say- you're only a drop, your word-breaking is only a drop, it wouldn't matter. But all the evil in the world's made up of little drops. It's silly talking about the unimportance of the little drops. The little drops and the ocean are the same thing."

Philosophy

John Fowles
"Piers is always going on about how he hated Stowe. As if that solves everything, as if to hate something means it can't have affected you."
