Famous quotes by John Barth:

"If you are a novelist of a certain type of temperament, then what you really want to do is re-invent the world. God wasn't too bad a novelist, except he was a Realist."

"Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story."

"This is an exciting time. A new chapter in our history."

"There's no question we can bring some expertise, ... I'm sure they have some as well. But we're recognized as the benchmark in the industry on the automotive side."

"Like an ox-cart driver in monsoon season or the skipper of a grounded ship, one must sometimes go forward by going back."

"The Bible is not man's word about God, but God's word about man."

"Nothing is intrinsically valuable; the value of everything is attributed to it, assigned to it from outside the thing itself, by people."

"It is often pleasant to stone a martyr, no matter how much we admire him"

"More history is made by secret handshakes than by battles, bills, and proclamations"

"My feeling about technique in art is that it has about the same value as technique in lovemaking. Heartfelt ineptitude has its appeal and so does heartless skill; but what you want is passionate virtuosity."

"More history is made by secret handshakes than by battles, bills and proclamations."

"You're certain to get a decision in a trial."
