Dorothy Allison Quotes About Literature

• Hay un lugar en el que siempre estamos solos con nuestra propia mortalidad, donde simplemente debemos tener algo más grande que nosotros mismos a lo que aferrarnos -Dios o la historia o la política o la literatura o la creencia en el poder curativo del amor, o incluso la ira justa.... Una razón para creer, una forma de coger al mundo por el cuello e insistir en que hay más en esta vida de lo que jamás hemos imaginado.

• It has seemed to me that literature, as I meant it, was embattled, that it was increasingly difficult to find writing doing what I thought literature should do - which was simply to push people into changing their ideas about the world, and to go further, to encourage us in the work of changing the world, to making it more just and more truly human.
