Famous quotes containing the words award, categories and/or winners:

    “The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “Of course I’m a black writer.... I’m not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer aren’t 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)

    “The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
    —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
