Quotes

"All man's miseries come from not being able to sit quietly in an empty room." --Blaise Pascal

“Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present." --The Family Circus

"No one is promised tomorrow." --My Grandmother

"Life can't ever really defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death-- fascinating, cruel, lavish, warm, cold, treacherous, constant." --Edna Ferber

"The great gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites. It gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination." --Elizabeth Hardwick

"When I was a child, I used to pray for a new bicycle. After awhile, I realized that it did not work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness. Therein lies the reason why Christianity has not improved our society to any appreciable level." --Anon

"Respect is paramount. We've domesticated and brought dogs into our homes. They have feelings just like we do. Their brains are wired just like ours. On so many levels, they're just like us. That's why we can live with dogs, and have the great relationship we do." --Victoria Stillwell

Type of writer I am

Your Score: Albert Camus

Your Literary Style Is 100% Realistic, 100% Philosophical, and 100% Psychological!

Your literary style most resembles Albert Camus'. Camus was a French writer who was heavily influenced by existential philosophy. All of his work is very philosophical and concerned with existential issues such as the meaning of life and the possibility of morals without God. Camus was also a very cerebral writer, examining the thoughts and feelings of his characters in order to bring out his existential philosophy. His characters frequently ponder their situations and the absurdity of their lives, making them very vivid psychological portraits. Unlike most philosophical writers, of course, Camus' style is also very realistic and tends to avoid allegories or symbolism in favor of a true representation of existence through a study of a character's psyche. Your literary style is similar to his because your stories are realistic, psychological studies which emphasize intellectual issues in philosophy.

Some stories you may enjoy: The Stranger, The Plague, and The Fall.

The other literary styles:

Edgar Allan Poe / Jorge Luis Borges / Franz Kafka / F. Scott Fitzgerald / Fyodor Dostoevsky / Herman Melville / George Orwell
