Richard Wright

Citas

• “Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread.”

• “These were the rhythms of his life: indifference and violence; periods of abstract brooding and periods of intense desire; moments of silence and moments of anger- like water ebbing and flowing from the tug of a far-away, invisible force.”

• “I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.”

• “I am nobody: / A red sinking autumn sun / Took my name away.”

• “He was much more stern and realistic than I tend to be. I’m not unrealistic, except in the sense that some things are so unpleasant I need to alter them a bit.”
