“Before we get to that I want to say the word “courage” is in the word “encourage.” I think about that a lot. For me to develop courage, I needed to be encouraged.” – Lynne Tillman, The Mystery of Perception

“A friend of mine, I don’t know how many years ago, said, ‘How do you write your dialogue? Nobody talks like that.’ I said, ‘I write the way I want people to talk.’” – Lynne Tillman, The Mystery of Perception

“It’s odd, insecurity. Almost every artist I know is insecure. For one thing, you’re making something that you want to think is “good,” but you don’t know. Standards shift, the chosen in one moment are unchosen in another. Some get prizes, some don’t. Some get lauded in print, others ignored or smashed. People go on. Writers write, and feel, at least I do, that nothing is alive without writing.” – Lynne Tillman, The Mystery of Perception

“I really am looking for new narratives to replace the old ones. I distrust words and stories and yet probably they are what I value most. Paradox rules.” – Lynne Tillman, Critical Fiction/Critical Self

“To talk of the self while society believes in it alone deserves at least a word of apology; when the singular rules, literature must head the opposition – in lowering the heads that stick up.” - Joseph Andras, Faraway the Southern Sky (Translated by Simon Leser)
