T.C. Boyle Quotes
To Readers Who Tend To Think Primarily In Terms Of Liking Or Disliking Characters: These People Are Fictional. They Do Not Stand Before Us Asking To Be Liked. They Stand Before Us Asking To Be Read. They Ask To Be Seen And Heard And Maybe Even Understood, Or At Least For Their Motives To Be Understood, If That Is What The Author Is After. But, For The Sake Of Argument, Let's Pretend These Characters Are In Fact Real, That They Are Human Beings Standing Before Us. Let Us Open Up At Least A Little To Those We Might Not Like - In Their Presence, We Might Experience Something New. To Me, Facing Those We Might Not Want To Face Is Crucial To Living In A Diverse World.
