More From Georges Simenon

Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.
Beach Doctors People
But to be perfectly frank, this childish idea that the author of a novel has some special insight into the characters in the novel ... it's ridiculous. that novel was composed of scratches on a page, dear. the characters inhabiting it have no life outside of those scratches. what happened to them? they all ceased to exist the moment the novel ended.

Each religion is a brave guess at the authorship of hamlet. yet, as far as the play goes, does it make any difference whether shakespeare or bacon wrote it? would it make any difference to the actors if their parts happened out of nothingness, if they found themselves acting on the stage because of some gross and unpardonable accident? would it make any difference if the playwright gave them the lines or whether they composed them themselves, so long as the lines were properly spoken? would it make any difference to the characters if 'a midsummer night's dream' was really a dream?

In a world full of danger, to be a potentially seeable object is to be constantly exposed to danger. self-consciousness, then, may be the apprehensive awareness of oneself as potentially exposed to danger by the simple fact of being visible to others. the obvious defence against such a danger is to make oneself invisible in one way or another.

It's very bad to write a novel by act of will. i can do a book of nonfiction work that way - just sign the contract and do the book because, provided the topic has some meaning for me, i know i can do it. but a novel is different. a novel is more like falling in love. you don't say, 'i'm going to fall in love next tuesday, i'm going to begin my novel.' the novel has to come to you. it has to feel just like love.

We're all god. i'm not a god or the god, but we're all god and we're all potentially divine - and potentially evil.

I'm an amalgamation of what i've needed to be. part scholar, part rebel, part nobleman, part mistborn, and part soldier. sometimes i don't even know myself. i had a devil of a time getting all those pieces to work together. and, just when i'm starting to get it figured out, the world up and ends on me.

There are some writers who feel they are elected by god. i am not. i am elected by the devil - this is clear.

To me, it's always a joy to create music no matter what it takes to actually get there. the real evils are always whatever stops you from doing that - like if your cpu is spiking and you have to sit there and bounce all your midi to audio. now that's annoying!
