James A. Michener, attributed Quotes

A collection of quotes by James A. Michener, attributed.

James A. Michener (1907-1997) was an American author renowned for his epic historical novels. Born in New York City, he was adopted by a widow who raised him in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Michener attended Swarthmore College and later earned a master's degree from the University of Northern Colorado. Before embarking on his writing career, he served as a teacher, war correspondent, and editor. His best-known works include "Tales of the South Pacific," which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1948, and "Hawaii," a sweeping saga tracing the island's history. Michener's talent for integrating meticulous research with vivid storytelling solidified his legacy as a master of the historical fiction genre.

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.
