John Cheever

I can’t write without a reader. It’s precisely like a kiss—you can’t do it alone.
― John Cheever

Fiction is art and art is the triumph over chaos… to celebrate a world that lies spread out around us like a bewildering and stupendous dream.
― John Cheever

The need to write comes from the need to make sense of one's life and discover one's usefulness.
― John Cheever
