I'm a big fan of John Fowles' The Magus, and like some of his other books. Recently I picked up Wormholes, a collection of his non-fiction essays. They don't read as smoothly as his fiction, and I disagree with much of his philosophy, but a few quotes stand out:
"I'm sick to death of the inarticulate hero. To hell with the inarticulate hero. Pity the slobs, but don't glorify them."
-- John Fowles"Being an atheist is a matter not of moral choice, but of human obligation."
-- John Fowles, in I Write Therefore I Am, collected in Wormholes.
