James Nicoll (1961) Canadian fiction reviewer

Review of T. Kingfisher's Nine Goblins http://jamesdavisnicoll.com/review/basically-i-have-no-sense-of-humour, 2013 <br class="br">2010s <br class="br">Context: At some point when I wasn’t paying attention, comedic genocide just stopped working for me.

“That’s when I first learned that it wasn’t enough to just do your job, you had to have an interest in it, even a passion for it.”

Charles Bukowski (1920–1994) American writer

“After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?”

““Marina,” I said, “I don’t know how to explain this, but … well, everything I say or do or even think just doesn’t seem to work out for me. Except when I’m totally alone.” I almost added, “Totally alone with God,” but I didn’t because I knew how crazyloco this might sound, especially since I wasn’t a priest or a monk.”

Victor Villaseñor (1940) American writer

“Even when I was a struggling actor, I was writing scripts, which were terrible, but I was fueled by a belief that I had to create the door. The right door wasn’t always going to open for me. Sometimes I was going to have to just crash through it or build one where there was no door before.”
