Damned If I Do: Stories Quotes

Like most people I am smarter than some, dumber than others, skinnier than most, and fatter than a few, but none was ever more confused than I was. I flew with confusion always parallel to me, and a whole internal chase at my rear. The one matter that was not confusing to me, but seemed to escape all the others, was the fact that the only thing that was certain to become obsolete, would necessarily become wearied and worn, was the truth. I knew this in spite of the truth that I had had little truck with the truth in my life. It was not that I considered myself a resident in a den of lies, but rather that my history was shrouded and diced and soaking wet with hysteria and contradiction. Contradictions or no, my trajectory through life, though different from most, was, nonetheless, a trajectory.

Truth Quotes / Confusion Quotes Contradiction Quotes I Am Not Sidney Poitier Quotes

Qual è stata la cosa che ti ha dato più fastidio in tutta la tua carriera?Strano che tu mi abbia costretto a farmi questa domanda.Già.È stato il fatto che mi abbiano definito postmoderno, figlio. Non sapevo nemmeno che cazzo significasse! Una volta un imbecille ha cercato di spiegarmelo, sostenendo che il mio lavoro parlava del processo di lavoro in sé e non della realtà oggettiva e della vita nel mondo.E tu cosa gli hai risposto?Dopo avergli detto di andare a farsi fottere, lui e il dannato ronzino che l'aveva portato fin lì, gli ho chiesto cos'era secondo lui la realtà oggettiva. Poi gli ho dato un pugno in faccia.

I was, in life, to be a gambler, a risk taker, a swashbuckler, a knight. I accepted, then and there, my place in this world. I was a fighter of windmills. I was a chaser of whales.

I Am Not Sidney Poitier Quotes

I don’t think meaning exists without form, and certainly form does not exist without meaning. Meaning and story come first. Story is the most important part of fiction. Without it, what’s the point? If all you care about is form, become a critic.

Why are people so fucked up?” I asked“Maybe you do need college, Poiter,” Everett said. “You want to know why people are so fucked up? Son, that’s about the only question I can answer with even a small measure of authority. It’s because they’re people. People, my friend, are worse than anybody.

The Water Cure Quotes

Everybody should read fiction… I don’t think serious fiction is written for a few people. I think we live in a stupid culture that won’t educate its people to read these things. It would be a much more interesting place if it would. And it’s not just that mechanics and plumbers don’t read literary fiction, it’s that doctors and lawyers don’t read literary fiction. It has nothing to do with class, it has to do with an anti-intellectual culture that doesn’t trust art.
