Updike Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words updike and/or wrote:

“Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“When I wrote of the women in their dances and wildness, it was a mask,
on their mountain, gold-hunting, singing, in orgy,
it was a mask; when I wrote of the god,
fragmented, exiled from himself, his life, the love gone down with song,
it was myself, split open, unable to speak, in exile from myself.
...
No more masks! No more mythologies!”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
