Richard Rodriguez Quotes

The Notion Of The Writer As A Kind Of Sociological Sample Of A Community Is Ludicrous. Even Worse Is The Notion That Writers Should Provide An Example Of How To Live. Virginia Woolf Ended Her Life By Putting A Rock In Her Sweater One Day And Walking Into A Lake. She Is Not A Model Of How I Want To Live My Life. On The Other Hand, The Bravery Of Her Syntax, Of Her Sentences, Written During Her Deepest Depression, Is A Kind Of Example For Me. But I Do Not Want To Become Virginia Woolf. That Is Not Why I Read Her.
