Quotes

▶

"Time is change; we measure its passing by how much things alter."; "There is no moral authority like that of sacrifice."; "The facts are always less than what really happened."; "The creative act is not pure. History evidences it. Sociology extracts it. The writer loses Eden, writes to be read and comes to realize that he is answerable."; "Responsibility is what awaits outside the Eden of Creativity.";  …

"Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this side of the womb."; "Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter."; "A desert is a place without expectation."; "A child understands fear, and the hurt and hate it brings."
