Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, I have failed three times, and what happens when he says, I am a failure.

Noting that Huckleberry Finn was originally both valued and reviled because it shows the reader that the accepted moral code and social hierarchy is not always correct.

Notionally a left-wing movement, the Anti-Germans were born after the collapse of the Berlin wall. While most Germans rejoiced at the end of the Cold War, the Anti-Germans feared that a united Germany might lead to a fourth Reich - and a return of anti-Semitism.

Notoriety and public confession in the literary form is a frazzler of the heart you were born with, believe me.
‐‐ Jack Kerouac

Notoriously, in 1975, Murdoch abused his position as a newspaper owner to support a plot that ousted the democratically elected prime minister of Australia, Gough Whitlam, who had dared to wander away from the mogul's path.
‐‐ Nick Davies
Notoriously outspoken, his sentences always punctuated with profanities, General George S. Patton was the epitome of what a leader should be like - or so he thought. Patton believed a leader should look and act tough, so he cultivated his image and his personality to match his philosophy.
‐‐ Simon Sinek
Notoriously, the United States is the most religious of the Western advanced nations. It's a bit mysterious why that is.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
Notre Dame and Sydney - that was nothing. Notre Dame doesn't have a police station; it is not 1,000 or so feet high. It was a public structure, very easy to access. And Sydney Harbour Bridge was half-and-half: a bridge, in the middle of the night. The World Trade Center was the end of the world. Electronic devices, police dogs.
‐‐ Philippe Petit
Notre Dame is the one school that has a national recruiting base, from Florida to Texas to California.

'Notting Hill?' Does that poke fun at being British? Maybe it does. In 'Mickey Blue Eyes,' that's kind of the point: the clash of worlds, the unlikely combo of a respectable Englishman and a mob guy. If you take out the Britishness, you don't really have much.
‐‐ Hugh Grant
Notwithstanding my present incompetency, I am beginning to translate the New Testament, being extremely anxious to get some parts of Scripture, at least, into an intelligible shape, if for no other purpose than to read, as occasion offers, to the Burmans I meet with.
‐‐ Adoniram Judson
Notwithstanding the fact that the most innovative and progressive space we've seen - the Internet - has been the place where intellectual property has been least respected. You know, facts don't get in the way of this ideology.
‐‐ Lawrence Lessig
Notwithstanding the likes of 'All the President's Men' in the 1970s or HBO's recent 'The Newsroom,' film and TV have always loved to hate the press.
‐‐ Steve Erickson
Notwithstanding these major arguments the wave theory initially did not meet with complete acceptance.
‐‐ Max von Laue
Notwithstanding these setbacks, the dream of a beautiful American orchestra goes on, and I share Dr. King's faith that each year we move inexorably closer to a magnificent opening night.
‐‐ Adam Schiff
Notwithstanding this high Ecclesiastical authority, he who dared accept truth only because it could be proved, or proved to be good, and disregard authority, was commonly stigmatized as an infidel.
‐‐ Ethan A. Hitchcock
Nourish beginnings, let us nourish beginnings. Not all things are blest, but the seeds of all things are blest. The blessing is in the seed.

Nova Scotia as a British colony also came into being as another result of these adventurous British expeditions to North America in the reign of James I.
‐‐ Harry Johnston
Novel technologies and ideas that impinge on human biology and their perceived impact on human values have renewed strains in the relationship between science and society.
‐‐ Paul Berg
Novel-writing is a bit like deception. You lie as little as you possibly can. That's the way I do it, anyway.
‐‐ Joseph O'Neill
Novel writing is far and away the most exhausting work I know.
‐‐ C. S. Forester
Novel-writing is, for the novelist, a game of let's pretend.
‐‐ Philip Roth
Novel writing is solitary work.
‐‐ Mohsin Hamid
Novel-writing is the only place where someone who would have liked to do anything can still do that vicariously.
‐‐ Richard Powers
Novel writing is the slowest art form in the world. It is not a sprint. It is not even a marathon. It is a series of marathons that stretch over and over across a continent.
‐‐ Mohsin Hamid
Novel writing should never be confused with journalism. Unfortunately, in the case of Primary Colors, a fair number of journalists confused.
‐‐ Joe Klein
Novel writing wrecks homes.
‐‐ C. S. Forester
Novelas are very respected in the Latin world.
‐‐ Jaime Camil
Novelisation doesn't imply the truth. Readers are sophisticated enough to know that.
‐‐ Denise Mina
Novelist and poet David Huddle is a quiet but fabulous writer, and he does adolescent longing better than anyone I know.
‐‐ Rebecca Makkai
Novelists and poets have existed side by side forever.
‐‐ Stan Brakhage
Novelists are always resisting autobiographical readings of their work, because they know how false those can be.
‐‐ Jeffrey Eugenides
Novelists are in the business of constructing consciousness out of words, and that's what we all do, cradle to grave. The self is a story we tell.
‐‐ James Gleick
Novelists are no more moral or certain than anybody else; we are ideologically adrift, and if we are any good then our writing will live in several places at once. That is both our curse and our charm.
‐‐ Andrew O'Hagan
Novelists are not equipped to make a movie, in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: they're casting, they're dressing the scene, they're working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and they're also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader.
‐‐ John le Carre
Novelists are stamina merchants, grinders, nine-to-fivers, and their career curves follow the usual arc of human endeavour.
‐‐ Martin Amis
Novelists can ask - they can ask for anything - but their books are their answers in advance.
‐‐ Joshua Cohen
Novelists don't age as quickly as philosophers, who often face professional senility in their late twenties.
‐‐ Martin Amis
Novelists embody plural selves all the time. What are characters, after all, if not other selves?
‐‐ Siri Hustvedt
Novelists go about the strenuous business of marrying and burying their people, or else they send them to sea, or to Africa, or at the least, out of town. Essayists in their stillness ponder love and death.
‐‐ Cynthia Ozick
Novelists have always had complete freedom to pretty much tell their story any way they saw fit. And that's what I'm trying to do.
‐‐ Quentin Tarantino
Novelists have to be adept at controlling the flow of information, and, most crucially, they have to be in charge of the narrative.
‐‐ Ian Mcewan
Novelists in particular love to rhapsodize about the glory of the solitary mind; this is natural, because their job requires them to sit in a room by themselves for years on end. But for most of the rest of us, we think and remember socially.
‐‐ Clive Thompson
Novelists, it seems to me, are the very last people who should be asked to comment on the news of the day, and sooner or later, when they have been pilloried for their views, most of them recognise this.
‐‐ Hilary Mantel
Novelists of a conservative or more purely aesthetic bent hold up better on the surface, but their novels go in and out of fashion according to relevance or irrelevance.
