John Scott Quotes
«In my books I might hold the mirror to my own face. If others would like to borrow the mirror, they're welcome. The books aren't there to accuse others - merely to raise issues and keep the debates alive.»
Author: John Scott
«It is better the law should be certain, than that every Judge should speculate upon improvements in it»
«It seems we are capable of immense love and loyalty, and as capable of deceit and atrocity. It's probably this shocking ambivalence that makes us unique.»
Author: John Scott
«If I had the luxury of working as a full time writer, I think you would see novels appearing on a much more regular, and frequent, basis.»
Author: John Scott
«These days - with the decline of the traditional churches - I'm concerned about where we obtain some form of moral direction.»
Author: John Scott
«The true experimenters are there but no-one hears about them - the critical/review system tends to concentrate on the handful of 'major' writers and their promising successors; bookshops tend not to sell them; publishers don't promote them. It's the same fate as has befallen poetry.»
Author: John Scott
«The Architect is just one of a series of works which examine the confrontation of innocence and experience, illustrating the complex ethics of power that exist between reader and writer, critic and artist, the human and the divine.»
Author: John Scott

Author: John Scott
«My work is known by too few people for me to be remembered as a writer - that is, beyond those dedicated souls (bless them) who have followed the oeuvre through its various stages. To be realistic, when they and the last of my friends have died, I doubt I shall be remembered at all.»
Author: John Scott
«The older I get, the more I seek to use a plain prose style, concentrating more on story.»
