Born Novelist

Famous quotes containing the words born and/or novelist:

    To be a born American citizen seems a guarantee against pauperism; and this, perhaps, springs from the virtue of a vote.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The novelist is required to open his eyes on the world around him and look. If what he sees is not highly edifying, he is still required to look. Then he is required to reproduce, with words, what he sees.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
