Vivian Gornick Quotes

Life, From Beginning To End, Is Fear. Yes, It Is Pain, Yes, It Is Desire, But More Than Anything It Is Fear; A Certain Amount Rational, An Enormous Amount Irrational. All Political Cruelties Stem From That Overwhelming Fear. To Push Back The Threatening Forces, To Offer Primitive Sacrifices, To Give Up Some In The Hope That Others Will Be Savedthat Is The Power Struggle. That Is The Outsidedness Of The Poor, The Feeble, The Infantile. That Is The Outsidedness Of Jews. That Is The Outsidedness Of Blacks. That Is The Outsidedness Of Women.
