Research to me is as important or more important than the writing. It is the foundation upon which the book is built

Leon Uris 57 quotes

A novel takes the courage of ...

A novel takes the courage of a marathon runner, and as long as you have to run, you might as well be a winning marathon runner. Serendipity and blind faith faith in yourself won't hurt a thing. All the bastards in the world will snicker and sneer because they haven't the talent to zip up their flies by themselves. To hell with them, particularly the critics. Stand in there, son, no matter how badly you are battered and hurt.

If you're lucky enough to fall in love, that's one thing. Otherwise all that was ever truly beautiful to me was boyhood. It's the meal we sup on for the rest of our lives. Love puts the icing on life. But if you don't find it...you must call on your childhood memories over and over till you do.

I am very proud of this work because it is more about the meaning of the Easter Rising and its relationship to what this whole century has been about, people liberating themselves, freeing themselves.

Look at me, man, look at me and tell me I don't know what I'm about. I'm Conor Larkin. I'm an Irishman and I've had enough.

Writing, basically breaks down to relationships between people and that is what you write about.

To be homeward bound, no matter what tragic memories you have harbored, is unlike any voyage a man can ever make.

I know writers have to be crazy. But more than that that, they have to get made and stay mad. If things don't make a writer mad, he'll end up writing Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottantail.

After all, the only thing that is going to save mankind is if enough people live their lives for something or someone other than themselves.

You aren't a true husband/man until you've done the work of a wife/women

There's a curse on me as there's a curse on the Larkin name. The curse comes back, again and again, to taunt me! Ronan! Kilty! Tomas! And now me! What are the Irish among men? Are we lepers? Are we a blight? Will there ever be an end to our tears?

Leon Uris 57 quotes

It all begins and ends in the same place, doesn't it? Conor and me in Ballyutogue. We all come home eventually.
