Famous quotes containing the words keith and/or morrison:
“He that hung upon the Torturing Tree
Heard all the crickets singing, and was glad.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“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)
