Hoagland

Famous quotes containing the word hoagland:

    If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. The scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders’ sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. There, running away ... is me: hurt it and you are hurting me.
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
