Alice Walker Quotes

For Several Years, While I Searched For, Found, And Studied Black Women Writers, I Deliberately Shut O'Connor Out, Feeling Almost Ashamed That She Had Reached Me First. And Yet, Even When I No Longer Read Her, I Missed Her, And Realized That Though The Rest Of America Might Not Mind, Having Endured It So Long, I Would Never Be Satisfied With A Segregated Literature. I Would Have To Read Zora Hurston And Flannery O'Connor, Nella Larsen And Carson McCullers, Jean Toomer And William Faulkner, Before I Could Begin To Feel Well Read At All.
