Author: Marguerite Young
«I was not influenced by Joyce although he's a great writer, and I love his work. I was influenced by Saint Augustine.»
Author: Marguerite Young

Author: Marguerite Young

Author: Marguerite Young
«When you have examined all the illusions of life and know that there isn't any reality, but you nevertheless go on, then you are a mature human being. You accept the idea that it is all mask and illusion and that people are in disguise. You see the crumbling of reality and you accept it.»
Author: Marguerite Young
«If you understand hallucination and illusion, you don't blindly follow any leader. You must know if the person is sane or insane, over the abyss.»
Author: Marguerite Young
«I never fantasized or invented a thing, not one thing. I knew every single thing I ever wrote about.»
Author: Marguerite Young
«A good writer cannot avoid having social consciousness. I don't mean this about small pieces of writing, but about a big book. If it's a big book, there has to be more than one undertow.»
Author: Marguerite Young
«I think the category between fiction and non-fiction is nothing. The poetry of non-fiction is as fabulous as any poetry you could ever write in fiction. Poets have greatly influenced me. The only difference between the novel as poem and the lyric as poem is the difference in length.»
Author: Marguerite Young
«It's the thing I never could write, the idea of identity and passage of the soul.»
Author: Marguerite Young
