More From John Fowles

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

Betrayal Book Writing
Science fiction is not predictive; it is descriptive.... prediction is the business of prophets, clairvoyants, and futurologists. it is not the business of novelists. a novelist's business is lying.... open your eyes; listen, listen. that is what the novelists say. but they don't tell you what you will see and hear. all they can tell you is what they have seen and heard, in their time in this world, a third of it spent in sleep and dreaming, another third of it spent in telling lies.

American gentlemen are a cross between english and french men, and yet really altogether like neither. they are more refined and modest than frenchmen, and less manly, shy, and rough, than englishmen. their brains are finer and flimsier, their bodies less robust and vigorous than ours. we are the finer animals, and they the subtler spirits. their intellectual tendency is to excitement and insanity, and ours to stagnation and stupidity.
