Additional quotes by John Fowles

You may wonder how I had not seen it before. I believe I had. But to see something is not the same as to acknowledge it.

Poetry had always seemed something I could turn to in need - an emergency exit, a lifebuoy, as well as a justification.

Just those three words, said and meant. I love you. They were quite hopeless. He said it as he might have said, I have cancer. His fairy story. - John Fowles
