Work Quotes
-
We are all affected by the time we are born into, and of course that feeds into your work. Society is based on storytelling - religious myths, opera, film - and 1968 was always seen as a time of rupture and fragmentation. I have always been interested in those words.

After graduating college, I was coming out of a routine I'd been in for several years, all the way back to high school.

Democratic institutions are necessary and very important, and if I remained at the head of government, it could be an obstacle to democratic practice.

In Victorian fiction, there would be a chapter at the end devoted to righting all of the wrongs. I thought to right all of the wrongs would be too glib. I thought it would be better to lull the reader into thinking that is the way it would work, but then not to do that.
Charles Palliser
-
