“Of course Im a black writer.... Im not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer arent 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)
“O.K., Marlowe, I said to myself, youre a tough guy. Youve been zapped twice, choked, beaten silly with a gun, shot in the arm until youre as crazy as a couple of waltzing mice, now lets see you do something really tough, like putting your pants on.”
—John Paxton (19111985)
