Кэтрин Патерсон цитаты

August and February are both alike in one way. They're both dream killers.
глава 8
«Иакова Я возлюбил»

I think the book is going to be who you are. If you’re a person of faith that will come out in the book. It’s not something that you stick on or worry if you’re clear enough. Because the minute you start doing that you’ve stopped telling a story and started writing propaganda. I think propaganda has gotten a bad name; it simply means you have something you believe that you want to share. <…> But that’s different from a story, where you don’t start with an answer that you want to share: you start with a question that you need to explore. And you do that in the form of a story.

О повести «Мост в Терабитию»

My admittedly limited experience on the internet and with computer “information”, has revealed that this is a rather shallow sort of knowledge and impersonal sort of human connection. I think great books and real live human beings do a better job of making us wise, compassionate people.

If you start [in book] with telling people what they are supposed to feel and what they are supposed to experience it simply doesn’t work. Because it really has to come from the reader…

The women of my island were not supposed to love the water. Water was the wild, untamed kingdom of our men. And though water was the element in which our tiny island lived and moved and had its being, the women resisted its power over their lives as a wife might pretend to ignore the existence of her husband's mistress. For the men of the island, except for the preacher and the occasional male teacher, the Bay was an all-consuming passion. It ruled their waking hours, sapped their bodily strength, and from time to tragic time claimed their mortal flesh.

Художественные произведения

It takes courage to lay your insides out for people to examine and sneer over. But that’s the only way to give what is your unique gift to the world. I have often noted that it takes the thinnest skin in the world to be a writer, it takes the thickest to seek out publication. But both are needed — the extreme sensitivity and the hippo hide against criticism. Send your inner critic off on vacation and just write the way little children play. You can’t be judge and creator at the same time.

The challenge for those of us who care about our faith and about a hurting world is to tell stories which will carry the words of grace and hope in their bones and sinews and not wear them like fancy dress.
