“Has all the trappings of a mystery novel, doesn't it?”
“The novel is not the author's confession; it is an investigation of human life in the trap the world has become”
“Is a novel anything but a trap set for a hero?”
“The heart of it all is mystery, and science is at best only the peripheral trappings to that mystery--a ragged barbed-wire fence through which mystery travels, back and forth, unencumbered by anything so frail as man's knowledge.”
“I like shape very much. A novel has to have shape, and life doesn't have any. ”
“We’re novel worthy, day walking, blood sucking, tortured souls trapped in a body that can’t die for all eternity with no feelings, no emotions and no heart. - Elaine White, Runaway Girl”
