Carlos Bulosan Quotes

• The old world is dying, but a new world is being born. It generates inspiration from the chaos that beats upon us all. The false grandeur and security, the unfulfilled promises and illusory power, the number of the dead and those about to die, will charge the forces of our courage and determination. The old world will die so that the new world will be born with less sacrifice and agony on the living.

• América es también el extranjero sin nombre, el refugiado sin hogar, el niño hambriento que mendiga un trabajo y el cuerpo negro que cuelga de un árbol. América es el inmigrante analfabeto que se avergüenza de que el mundo de los libros y las oportunidades intelectuales esté cerrado para él. Todos somos ese extranjero sin nombre, ese refugiado sin hogar, ese niño hambriento, ese inmigrante analfabeto y ese cuerpo negro linchado. Todos nosotros, desde el primer Adams hasta el último filipino, nativos o extranjeros, cultos o analfabetos: ¡somos América!

• Now culture being a social product, I firmly believe that any work of art should have a social function to beautify, to glorify, to dignify man... Since any social system is forced to change to another by concrete economic forces, its art changes also to be recharged, reshaped, and revitalized by the new conditions... The making of a genuine artist or writer is not mysterious. It is not
  the work of Divine Providence. Social conditions, history, and the people's struggle are the factors behind it.
