I love to read about anger. A "feel bad" book always makes me feel good. And no other novel in the history of literature is more depressing than Christina Stead's The Man Who Loved Children. John Waters

I'm always amazed at friends who say they try to read at night in bed but always end up falling asleep. I have the opposite problem.

Ones you have to concentrate on while reading. And for god's sake, don't let me ever hear you say, "I can't read fiction. I only have time for the truth." Fiction is the truth, fool! Ever hear of "literature"? That means fiction, too, stupid. John Waters

Being rich is not about how much money you have or how many homes you own; it's the freedom to buy any book you want without looking at the price and wondering if you can afford it. John Waters

John Waters quote: "We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody..."
We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them. John Waters
