“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.”
As quoted in My Favorite Quotations (1990) by Norman Vincent Peale
Paris Review interview (1958)
Context: From things that have happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you make something through your invention that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality. That is why you write and for no other reason that you know of. But what about all the reasons that no one knows?
