Cynthia Ozick quotes
After a certain number of years, our faces become our biographies.
I wanted to use what I was, to be what I was born to be - not to have a 'career," but to be that straightforward obvious unmistakable animal, a writer.
I'm not afraid of facts, I welcome facts but a congeries of facts is not equivalent to an idea. This is the essential fallacy of the so-called "scientific" mind. People who mistake facts for ideas are incomplete thinkers; they are gossips.
In saying what is obvious, never choose cunning. Yelling works better.
The usefulness of madmen is famous: they demonstrate society's logic flagrantly carried out down to its last scrimshaw scrap.
Travelers are fantasists, conjurers, seers - and what they finally discover is that every round object everywhere is a crystal ball: stone, teapot, the marvelous globe of the human eye.
Traveling is seeing; it is the implicit that we travel by.
