William Styron

Citas

• “A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it.”

• “The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone’s neurosis, and we’d have a mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads.”

• “I had now reached that phase of the disorder where all sense of hope had vanished, along with the idea of a futurity; my brain, in thrall to its outlaw hormones, had become less an organ of thought than an instrument registering, minute by minute, varying degrees of its own suffering.”

• “I raise my eyes upward. There alone amidst the blue, steadfast, unmoving, fiery marvel of brightness, shines the morning star. Never has that star seemed so radiant, and I stand gazing at it and do not move though the chill of the damp floor imprisons my feet in piercing icebound pain.”

• “The most profound statement yet made about Auschwitz was not a statement at all, but a response. / The query: “At Auschwitz, tell me, where was God?” / And the answer: “Where was man?””
