Fun Fact

Jules was quite the quote master:

  • If you are afraid of being lonely, don’t try to be right.
  • Writing is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none.
  • Culture is what’s left after you have forgotten everything.
  • I don’t know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn’t.
  • Look for the ridiculous in everything, and you will find it.
  • If money does not make you happy; give it back.
  • Writing is the only way to talk without being interrupted.
  • If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
  • Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.
  • Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
  • The only man who is really free is the one who can turn down an invitation to dinner without giving an excuse.

By 1937, he was well on the way to success with the publication of his first novel in the series. Another of his best-known works, The African Queen, was one of the many of his works that inspired screenplays—for both movies on the big screen and for television—that included some based on the Hornblower novels. Forester also wrote plays and children’s books, and, early in his career, he made contributions to the emerging genre of crime fiction. His masterpiece of suspense, Payment Deferred, foreshadowed the works of later practitioners of mystery fiction. Five biographies, some histories, and an early autobiography were also part of his varied output.
