More From Julien Green

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Are my characters copies of people in real life? ... don't ever believe the stories about authors putting people into novels. that idea is a kind of joke on both authors and readers. all the readers believe that authors do it. all the authors know that it can't be done.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
One wouldn't want to say that what makes a good writer is the number of books that the writer wrote because you could write a whole number of bad books. books that don't work, mediocre books, or there's a whole bunch of people in the pulp tradition who have done that. they just wrote... and actually they didn't write a whole bunch of books, they just wrote one book many times.

I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. there's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. well they're not good enough. write it! i want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. you're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. that's what i really think it is. well it's all right. well, how do you know? it's not done!

I really feel there's no limitation on what this band can do in the studio or on the stage. that's an empowering feeling - that we can bring a song to life.
