“Some of these things are true and some of them lies. But they are all good stories.”
― Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall
― Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall
“If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem. But don't make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people's words will pour in where your lost words should be. Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient.”
― Hilary Mantel

“It is the absence of facts that frightens people: the gap you open, into which they pour their fears, fantasies, desires.”
