“As the Nazi regime developed over the years, the whole structure of decision-making was changed. At first there were laws. Then there were decrees implementing laws. Then a law was made saying, ‘There shall be no laws.’ Then there were orders and directives that were written down, but still published in ministerial gazettes. Then there was government by announcement; orders appeared in newspapers. Then there were the quiet orders, the orders that were not published, that were within the bureaucracy, that were oral. And finally, there were no orders at all. Everybody knew what he had to do.” YearsFirstsMadeStillsWholeGovernmentLawOrderDecisionWrittenChangedQuietStructureNewspapersDecision MakingRegimesNaziBureaucracyDecreeAnnouncementsImplementing Author:Raul Hilberg
“[As a screenwriter] I have a sense of exile from thought, a nostalgia of the quiet room and balanced mind. I am a writer, and there comes a time when that which I write has to belong to me, has to be written alone and in silence, with no one looking over my shoulder, no one telling me a better way to write it. It doesn't have to be great writing, it doesn't even have to be terribly good. It just has to be mine.” WayWritingMindRoomsSilenceWrittenMinesQuietNostalgiaShouldersBalancedExileBetter WaysScreenwritersGreat WritingThere Comes A TimeQuiet Room Author:Raymond Chandler
“In a brilliant fusion of fact and fiction, Jayne Anne Phillips has written the novel of the year. It's the story of a serial killer's crimes and capture, yes, but it's also a compulsively readable story of how one brave woman faces up to acts of terrible violence in order to create something good and strong in the aftermath. Quiet Dell will be compared to In Cold Blood, but Phillips offers something Capote could not: a heroine who lights up the dark places and gives us hope in our humanity.” GivingYearsFactsStoriesLightFacesHumanityOrderStrongDarkFictionNovelViolenceWrittenBloodCrimeColdTerribleOffersQuietBraveBrilliantCaptureKillersHeroinesSerialsLight UpAftermathFusionSerial KillerDark PlacesDellBrave WomenFact And Fiction Author:Stephen King
“A novel is what you dream in your night sleep. A novel is not waking thoughts although it is written and thought with waking thoughts. But really a novel goes as dreams go in sleeping at night and some dreams are like anything and some dreams are like something and some dreams change and some dreams are quiet and some dreams are not. And some dreams are just what any one would do only a little different always just a little different and that is what a novel is.” LittlesDifferentDreamNightSleepNovelWrittenQuietWakingLike SomethingSleeping At Night Book:How Writing Is Written Source: How Writing Is Written
