Best 8 quotes of Paul Park on MyQuotes

Corruption hates what is not corrupt.

The way to art was not to think too clearly, not to plan things out, but to follow where your heart and emotions led.

This Christmas, every Christmas, Santa Claus is everywhere and Jesus is nowhere to be found.

Ah, how hard it was, even half-delirious or asleep, to conceive of something new!

And you’re disappointed in the story. I know you wanted a love story.

Every character in a story, I thought when I had folded up the phone, has both a purpose and a secret purpose.

I thought you could build a story that would function as a machine or else a complex of machines, each one moving separately, yet part of a process that ultimately would produce an emotion or a sequence of emotions. You could swap out parts, replace them if they got too old. And this time you would build in some redundancy, if only just to handle the stress. One question was: Would the engine still work if you were aware of it, or if you were told how it actually functioned? Maybe this was one of the crucial differences between a story and a machine.

That’s why it’s difficult to write about your own life. Any distortion feels like a betrayal.
