More From John Fowles

I always enjoyed doing monster books. monster books gave me the opportunity to draw things out of the ordinary. monster books were a challenge - what kind of monster would fascinate people?
Book Opportunity People
No outward thing - nothing, nobody from without - can hurt me inside, psychologically. i recognized that i could only be hurt psychologically by my own wrong actions, which i have control over; by my own wrong reactions (they are tricky, but i have control over them too); or by my own inaction in some situations, like the present world situation, that need action from me. when i recognized all this how free i felt! and i just stopped hurting myself.
Hurt Needs World
We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.
Attitude Optimistic Expression
It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. but wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. there must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.
Exercise Men Giving
I know i can act. there aren't too many other jobs i know how to do. financially, i've lost money and made money, but i know my way around financially. i've been too many places. i'm like the bad penny.
Jobs Way Pennies
We need to surrender our attachments to government in every aspect of life. we need to give up our dependencies on the state, materially and spiritually. we should not look to the state to provide us financially or psychologically. let us give up our longing for welfare, our love of war, and our desire to see the government control and shape our fellow citizens.
