Now and then, the slight lateral movement of the building in the surrounding airstream sent a warning ripple across the flat surface of the water, as if in its pelagic deeps an immense creature was stirring in its sleep. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Perhaps violence, like pornography, is some kind of an evolutionary standby system, a last-resort device for throwing a wild joker into the game? ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
I take for granted that for the imaginative writer, the exercise of the imagination is part of the basic process of coping with reality, just as actors need to act all the time to make up for some deficiency in their sense of themselves. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Sometimes we need a personal crisis to reinforce in our minds what we really value and cherish. The scriptures are filled with examples of people facing crises before learning how to better serve God and others. Perhaps if you, too, search your hearts and courageously assess the priorities in your life, you may discover, as I did, that you need a better balance among your priorities. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
It is a quiet and peaceful place - and a fitting place for the remains of this greatest of sea tragedies to rest. ~ Robert Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert Ballard
A visit to Père Lachaise in Paris adds a year to one's life ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Great things are wrought through simple and small things. Like the small flecks of gold that accumulate over time into a large treasure, our small and simple acts of kindness and service will accumulate into a life filled with love for Heavenly Father, devotion to the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, and a sense of peace and joy each time we reach out to one another. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
His mother and father were agnostics, and Jim respected devout Christians in the same way that he respected people who were members of the Graf Zeppelin Club or shopped at the Chinese department stores, for their mastery of an exotic foreign ritual. Besides, those who worked hardest for others, like Mrs. Philips and Mrs. Gilmour and Dr. Ransome, often held beliefs that turned out to be correct. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Most of the time you are growing up, people tell you what's wrong with you. Your coach tells you, your parents tell you, the teachers tell you when they grade you. I think that's very good in the early stages, because it helps you then develop skills. But at some point in your career, generally I think when you are in your teens, you look in a mirror and you have to say, despite all the bumps and warts, "I like that person I'm looking at, and let's just do our best." ~ Robert Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert Ballard
If I don't write, I begin to feel unsettled and uneasy, as I gather people do who are not allowed to dream. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Remember, young men, that purity precedes power. The Lord said, 'But purify your hearts before me; and then go ye into all the world, and preach my gospel unto every creature who has not received it' (D&C 112:28). Missionaries discover this very early in their missions and make every effort to be worthy so they can serve with power. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
I'd challenge gods and queens to make you mine, Ballard. Conquer a kingdom or two if necessary. ~ Grace Draven
Ballard quotes by Grace Draven
The 90's map the decades to come – full of invisible technologies that will 'sub-contract' many of the functions of the central nervous system. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Overhead the sky was dull and cloudless, a bland impassive blue, more the interior ceiling of some deep irrevocable psychosis than the storm-filled celestial sphere he had known during the previous days. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
The Lord does not want us to "miss supper." In fact, He has a great feast prepared for those who return clean and pure through the door. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
A terrorist bomb not only killed its victims, but forced a violent rift through time and space, and ruptured the logic that held the world together. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Sex x Technology = the Future. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
'What was being on the moon literally like?' [ ... ] 'Being on the moon?' His tired gaze inspected the narrow street of cheap jewellery stores, with its office messengers and lottery touts, the off-duty taxi-drivers leaning against their cars. 'It was just like being here.' ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
At the school I attended, the clergyman who ran the cathedral school in Shanghai would give lines to the boys as a punishment. They expected you to copy out, say, 20 or 30 pages from one of the school texts. But I found that rather than laboriously copying out something from a novel by Charles Dickens, it was easier if I made it up myself. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Our lives today are not conducted in linear terms. They are much more quantified; a stream of random events is taking place. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Films, like memories, seem to re-shoot themselves over the years, reflecting our latest needs and obsessions. In many cases they can change completely, and reveal unexpected depths and shallows. Will Four Weddings and a Funeral be seen one day as a vicious social satire? Could Jaws become as tearful and sentimental as Bambi? ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
I've read plenty of J.G. Ballard, but I'm not really a Ballardian. I've met Ballardians, and I know when I can't compete. I like Ballard in his relatively unchallenging apocalyptic mode: 'Vermilion Sands,' 'The Drowned World,' 'The Burning World,' 'The Crystal World.' ~ Lev Grossman
Ballard quotes by Lev Grossman
The surrealists, and the modern movement in painting as a whole, seemed to offer a key to the strange postwar world with its threat of nuclear war. The dislocations and ambiguities, in cubism and abstract art as well as the surrealists, reminded me of my childhood in Shanghai. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
In the past we have always assumed that the external world around us has represented reality, however confusing or uncertain, and that the inner world of our minds, its dreams, hopes, ambitions, represented the realm of fantasy, and the imagination. These roles, it seems to me, have been reversed. The most prudent and effective method of dealing with the world around us is to assume that it is a complete fiction - conversely, the one small node of reality left to us is inside of our own heads. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
We are not asking everyone to do everything. We are simply asking all members to pray, knowing that if every member, young and old, will reach out to just "one" between now and Christmas, millions will feel the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. And what a wonderful gift to the Savior. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
Memories have huge staying power, but like dreams, they thrive in the dark, surviving for decades in the deep waters of our minds like shipwrecks on the sea bed. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
His unconscious was rapidly becoming a well-stocked pantheon of tutelary phobias and obsessions, homing onto his already over-burdened psyche like lost telepaths. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
She glanced at her watch, reminding herself who she was. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
There is nothing like success to breed followers. ~ Geoffrey Ballard
Ballard quotes by Geoffrey Ballard
Sex × Technology = the Future. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
The Thames Shouldered its way past Blackfriars Bridge, impatient with the ancient piers, no longer the passive stream that slid past Chelsea Marina, but a rush of ugly water that had scented the open sea and was ready to make a run for it. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
The writer's task is to invent the reality. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Men and women in all parts of the world have a desperate need to take time from their demanding routines of everyday life and to quietly observe God's miracles taking place all around them. Think of what would happen if all of us took time to look carefully at the wonders of nature that surround us and devoted ourselves to learning more about this world that God created for us! ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
Sooner or later, everything turns into television. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
I'm not laughing, and I'm not running. I wont lie either. You're a chilling sight to behold. I've had nightmares of monsters prettier than you." She stepped closer and raised her other hand to thread her fingers through his hair. This time he didn't flinch away. "But you're still you under all this flux nonsense. Only a fool of a woman would run from such an extraordinary man, and I am no fool, Ballard de Sauveterre. ~ Grace Draven
Ballard quotes by Grace Draven
When you were twenty, you accepted yourself, flaws and all. Then disenchantment set in. By the time you were thirty your tolerance was wearing thin. You weren't entirely trustworthy, and you knew you were prone to compromise. Already the future was receding, the bright dreams were slipping below the horizon. By now you're a stage set, one push and the whole thing could collapse at your feet. At times you feel like you're living someone else's life, in a strange house you've rented by accident. The 'you' you've become isn't your real self. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
It is a Mormon truism that is current among us and we all accept it, that as man is God once was and as God is man may become. That does not signify that man will become God. I am sorry to say, and yet it is a truth, that not many men will become what God is, simply because they will not pay the price, because they are not willing to live up to the requirements; and still all men may, if they will, become what God is, but only those who are heirs of the celestial glory shall ever be possible candidates, to become what God is. ~ Melvin J. Ballard
Ballard quotes by Melvin J. Ballard
Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the source of spiritual power that will give you and me the assurance that we have nothing to fear. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
Hell is out of fashion - institutional hells at any rate. The populated infernos of the 20th century are more private affairs, the gaps between the bars are the sutures of one's own skull. A valid hell is one from which there is a possibility of redemption, even if this is never achieved, the dungeons of an architecture of grace whose spires point to some kind of heaven. The institutional hells of the present century are reached with one-way tickets, marked Nagasaki and Buchenwald, worlds of terminal horror even more final than the grave. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
All the evidence over several decades cast a critical light on the high-rise as a viable social structure, but cost-effectiveness in the area of public housing and the profitability in the private sector kept pushing these vertical townships into the sky, against the real needs of their occupants. The psychology of high-rise life had been exposed with damaging results. Living in high-rises required a special type of behavior, one that was acquiescent, restrained, even perhaps slightly mad. A psychotic would have a ball here. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Madness--that's all they have, after working sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. Going mad is their only way of staying sane. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
We cannot foresee what the Lord has in mind for us. Our only course of action is to be prepared and worthy for whatever he requires. We must govern our actions every day with our future in mind. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
Everyone is an explorer. How could you possibly live your life looking at a door and not open it? ~ Robert Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert Ballard
Trust the Lord. He is the good shepherd. He knows His sheep. And His sheep know His voice. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
From "The Book That Changed My Life":

-"But your journey is never over until you return from it to share with society what you have learned." ~ Robert Ballard

-"We never anticipate being changed by what we read. Such an experience cannot be planned for." ~ Brother Christopher


~ Robert D. Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert D. Ballard
Work dominates life in Eden-Olympia, and drives out everything else. The dream of a leisure society was the great twentieth-century delusion. Work is the new leisure. Talented and ambitious people work harder than they have ever done, and for longer hours. They find their only fulfillment through work. The men and women running successful companies need to focus their energies on the task in front of them, and for every minute of the day. The last thing they want is recreation. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
The answer is, of course, to simplify, to prioritize, and in some cases, to use a well-known phrase, "Just say no!" But actually doing it may prove to be one of the real challenges in our complicated, overheated lives. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
Often the lack of clear direction and goals can waste away our time and energy and contribute to imbalance in our lives. A life that gets out of balance is much like a car tire that is out of balance. It will make the operation of the car rough and unsafe. Tires in perfect balance can give a smooth and comfortable ride. So it is with life. The ride through mortality can be smoother for us when we strive to stay in balance. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
Riots followed hunger like thunder follows lightning. ~ Gary A. Ballard
Ballard quotes by Gary A. Ballard
We're building prisons all over the world and calling them luxury condos. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
There's a long list of technologies that have now made it possible to carry out very precise search efforts in the deep sea. ~ Robert Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert Ballard
Beyond our physical touch, the breasts of these screen actresses incite our imaginations to explore and reshape them. The bodies of these extraordinary women form a kit of spare parts, a set of mental mannequins that resemble Bellmer's obscene dolls. As they tease us, so we begin to dismantle them, removing sections of a smile, a leg stance, an enticing cleavage. The parts are interchangeable, like the operations we imagine performing on these untouchable women, as endlessly variable as the colours silkscreened on to the faces of Warhol's Liz and Marilyn. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
The dream of empire died when Shanghai surrendered without a fight. Even at the age of 11 or 12, I knew that no amount of patriotic newsreels would put the Union Jack jigsaw together again. From then on, I was slightly suspicious of all British adults. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
The arts and criminality have always flourished side by side. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
In effect, the apartment block was a small vertical city, its two thousand inhabitants boxed up into the sky.j.g. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Remove any of your fear with faith. Trust the power of God to guide you. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
Just before dawn, when the pain became unbearable, he took one of the morphine tablets and fell off into a loud, booming sleep, in which the great sun expanded until it filled the entire universe, the stars themselves jolted by each of its beats. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Sport is the big giveaway. Wherever sport plays a big part in people's lives you can be sure they're bored witless and just waiting to break up the furniture. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
The Chinese enjoyed the grim spectacle of death, Jim had decided, as a way of reminding themselves of how precariously they were alive. They liked to be cruel for the same reason, to remind themselves of the vanity of thinking that the world was anything else. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
She referred to the high-rise as if it were some kind of huge animate presence, brooding over them and keeping a magisterial eye on the events taking place. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
I had a momentary vision of Brooklands' entire middle class, its prosperous lawyers, doctors and senior managers, being confined to their own ghetto, with nothing to do all day except groom their ponies and swing their croquet mallets. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
I'm a strong opponent of all religious belief.
... And supposedly 95% of Americans say they believe in God - that's worrying.
... Religions are Trojan horses which conceal profoundly strange psychopathy strains. There's no other explanation for them. The sheer fear of death has been the main engine of religions for a very long time. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
In a sense, these people were the vanguard of a well-to-do and well-educated proletariat of the future, boxed up in these expensive apartments with their elegant furniture and intelligent sensibilities, and no possibility of escape. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Art exists because reality is neither real nor significant. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
I am an underwater explorer, not a treasure hunter. ~ Robert Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert Ballard
No American films?'

'I don't like comic strips.'

'Film noir?'

'Black is a very sentimental colour. You can hide any rubbish behind it. Hollywood flicks are fun, if your idea of a good time is a hamburger and a milk shake. America invented the movies so it would never need to grow up. We have angst, depression and middle-aged regret. They have Hollywood. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
The crystal trees among them were hung with glass-like trellises of moss. The air was markedly cooler, as if everything was sheathed in ice, but a ceaseless play of light poured through the canopy overhead. The process of crystallization was more advanced. The fences along the road were so encrusted that they formed a continuous palisade, a white frost at least six inches thick on either side of the palings. The few houses between the trees glistened like wedding cakes, white roofs and chimneys transformed into exotic miniarets and baroque domes. On a law of green glass spurs, a child's tricycle gleamed like a Faberge gem, the wheels starred into brilliant jasper crowns. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Aristotle, I swear that kid is going to get himself killed one of these days. He's a dumbass at the genetic level. ~ Gary Ballard
Ballard quotes by Gary Ballard
... some strangely poetic business about this telephone booth. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
... We never will have balance in our lives unless our finances are securely under control. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
There is no other relationship quite like that which can and should exist between a boy and his dad. It can be one of the most nurturing, joyful relationships in life, one that can have a profound impact on who boys become and also on who dads become. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
I believe that if it were possible to scrap the whole of existing literature, all writers would find themselves inevitably producing something very close to SF ... No other form of fiction has the vocabulary of ideas and images to deal with the present, let alone the future. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Already a sizable traffic jam blocked the Bund. Once again the crush and clutter of Shanghai had engulfed its invaders. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Morality covers our conduct, not what goes on inside our heads. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Look at the most religious areas of the world at present - the Middle East and the United States. These are sick societies, and they're going to get sicker. People are never more dangerous than when they have nothing left to believe in except God. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
What drives me is exploration with a purpose, more the classic Royal Geographical Society genre. ~ Robert Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert Ballard
Art is the principal way in which the human mind has tried to remake the world in a way that makes sense. The carefully edited, slow-motion, action replay of a rugby tackle, a car crash or a sex act has more significance than the original event. Thanks to virtual reality, we will soon be moving into a world where a heightened super-reality will consist entirely of action replays, and reality will therefore be all the more rich and meaningful. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
NASA's annual budget for space exploration could fund NOAA's budget for ocean exploration for 1600 years. ~ Robert Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert Ballard
The dealing rooms were a con, and only the river was real. The money was all on tick, a stream of coded voltages sluicing through concealed conduits under the foreign exchange floors. Facing them across the river were two more fakes, the replica of Shakespeare's Globe, and an old power station made over into a middle class disco – Tate Modern. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Little Red Riding Hood got what she deserved. You don't go walking in the woods alone if you want to avoid wolves."
I was about to say something in response, but Nicky Ballard did it for me. "You could say that about the wolf, too. If you go around attacking defenseless girls, you can expect payback. ~ Carol Goodman
Ballard quotes by Carol Goodman
Of all the opportunities my priesthood authority affords, there is none grander than the privilege of being in one of our temples and representing the Master in officiating in the marriage of two of His worthy, righteous children. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
I would have to say my favorite place on Earth is Bora Bora. ~ Robert Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert Ballard
Most writers flinch at the thought of being completely honest about themselves. So absolute honesty is what marks the true modern. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
The DEEP SEA has more history in it than all the museums of the world-combined. ~ Robert Ballard
Ballard quotes by Robert Ballard
The reptiles had taken over the city. Once again they were the dominant form of life. Looking up at the ancient impassive faces, Kerans could understand the curious fear they roused, rekindling archaic memories of the terrifying jungles of the Paleocene, when the reptiles had gone down before the emergent mammals, and sense the implacable hatred one zoological class feels towards another that usurps it. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
We must bear in mind, however sadly, that psychopathology is no longer the exclusive preserve of the degenerate and perverse. The Congo, Vietnam, Biafra -these are games that anyone can play. Their violence, and all violence for that matter, reflects the neutral exploration of sensation that is taking place now, within sex as elsewere (...). Were all this leads one can only speculate (...). What will follow is the psychopathology of sex, relationships so lunar and abstract that people will become mere extensions of the geometries of situations. ~ Ballard James G.
Ballard quotes by Ballard James G.
Remember, the police are neutral - they hate everybody. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
There is a British pop group called God. At a recent book signing the lead singer introduced himself and gave me a cassette. I have heard the voice of God. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
All the way down the creek, perched in the windows of the office blocks and department stores, the iguanas watched them go past, their hard frozen heads jerking stiffly ... Without the reptiles, the lagoons and the creeks of office blocks half-submerged in the immense heat would have had a strange dream-like beauty, but the iguanas and basilisks brought the fantasy down to earth. As their seats in the one-time board-rooms indicated, the reptiles had taken over the city. Once again they were the dominant form of life. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Trust your father. He is not perfect, but he loves you and would never do anything he didn't think was in your best interest. So talk to him. Share your thoughts and feelings, your dreams and your fears. The more he knows about your life, the better chance he has to understand your concerns and to give you good counsel. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
But a lottery isn't meaningless. Someone has to win. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Presumably all obsessions are extreme metaphors waiting to be born. That whole private mythology, in which I believe totally, is a collaboration between one's conscious mind and those obsessions that, one by one, present themselves as stepping-stones. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
When the modern movement began, starting perhaps with the paintings of Manet and the poetry of Baudelaire and Rimbaud, what distinguished the modern movement was the enormous honesty that writers, painters and playwrights displayed about themselves. The bourgeois novel flinches from such notions. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Yet she felt an impostor, and already the mask had begun to bite into her face. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
He dreamed of ambassadorial limousines crashing into jack-knifing butane tankers, of taxis filled with celebrating children colliding head-on below the bright display windows of deserted supermarkets. He dreamed of alienated brothers and sisters, by chance meeting each other on collision courses on the access roads of petrochemical plants, their unconscious incest made explicit in this colliding metal, in the heamorrhages of their brain tissue flowering beneath the aluminized compression chambers and reactions vessels. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Our most basic institution of family desperately needs help and support from the extended family and the public institutions that surround us. Brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins can make a powerful difference in the lives of children. Remember that the expression of love and encouragement from an extended family member will often provide the right influence and help a child at a critical time. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Ballard quotes by M. Russell Ballard
In a totally sane society, madness is the only freedom. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Now, granted, Howard doesn't fit the conventional psychological profile of a rebounder - that of the no-nonsense, utilitarian "dirty work" specialist. Rather, this is a guy who sings Beyoncé at the free throw line, who quotes not Scarface but Finding Nemo, whose idea of humor is ordering 10 pizzas to be delivered to another player's hotel room, or knocking on teammates' doors and sprinting off down the hall, giggling. He goofs around during practice, during press conferences and during team shootarounds, for which Magic coach Stan Van Gundy has had to institute a no-flatulence rule because, as teammate Rashard Lewis says, "Dwight really likes to cut the cheese. ~ Chris Ballard
Ballard quotes by Chris Ballard
I've seen descriptions of advanced TV systems in which a simulation of reality is computer-controlled; the TV viewer of the future will wear a special helmet. You'll no longer be an external spectator to fiction created by others, but an active participant in your own fantasies/dramas. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
Burroughs called his greatest novel 'Naked Lunch,' by which he meant it's what you see on the end of a fork. Telling the truth. It's very difficult to do that in fiction because the whole process of writing fiction is a process of sidestepping the truth. I think he got very close to it, in his way, and I hope I've done the same in mine. ~ J.G. Ballard
Ballard quotes by J.G. Ballard
