Quotations: Leon Uris

Leon Uris :  American novelist  (Aug 3, 1924 - Jun 21 2003)  is one of my most favorite writers.  His books, like Exodus, Trinity and Mila-18 and many others are a "must" read. 
******
You can try to reach an audience, but you just write what comes out of you and you just hope that it is accepted. You do not write specifically to a generation.
--------
English of course is your major tool, but it is not nearly so important as other aspects of writing for example you have to have some natural ability you can't buy it no one puts it there you're born with it.
--------
The first thing you have to do is get immersed in the project, organizing yourself, knowing what you are going after and not going after.
---------
Often we have no time for our friends but all the time in the world for our enemies.
------------
Research to me is as important or more important than the writing. It is the foundation upon which the book is built.
