“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“I knew that the wall was the main thing in Quebec, and had cost a great deal of money.... In fact, these are the only remarkable walls we have in North America, though we have a good deal of Virginia fence, it is true.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Of course Im a black writer.... Im not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer arent marginal anymore. We have to acknowledge that the thing we call literature is more pluralistic now, just as society ought to be. The melting pot never worked. We ought to be able to accept on equal terms everybody from the Hassidim to Walter Lippmann, from the Rastafarians to Ralph Bunche.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“Never did I read such tosh. As for the first two chapters we will let them pass, but the 3rd 4th 5th 6thmerely the scratching of pimples on the body of the bootboy at Claridges.”
—Virginia Woolf (18821941)
“The swords a cross; thereon He died:
On breast of Mars the goddess sighed.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.... I think were being run by maniacs for maniacal ends ... and I think Im liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. Thats whats insane about it.”
—John Lennon (19401980)
