Paula Fox was an American author known for her novels, memoirs, and children’s literature. Here are a few quotes attributed to her:
”To write about a family is to write about the world.”
”The truth is often an insult, a cruel one, but it is still the truth.”
”All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible.”
”It’s very bad for a writer to talk about how he writes. He writes to be read by the eye and no explanations or dissertations should be necessary. You can be sure that there is much more there than will be read at any first reading and having made this it is not the writer’s province to explain it or run guided tours through the more difficult country of his work.”
”We are born to be what we are. Why do we have to pretend to be what we are not?”
”The truth, however bitter, can be medicine for the soul.”
”To be conscious of being, you need to reclaim consciousness from the mind. This is the essence of meditation: not to change what you are, but to become more aware of who you are.”
These quotes capture Fox’s contemplative and introspective nature, as well as her views on truth, writing, and self-awareness. Her writing often delves into complex family dynamics, personal struggles, and the human condition.
