E L Doctorow quotes
" I try to avoid experience if I can. Most experience is bad. "

E L Doctorow
" In the twentieth century one of the most personal relationships to have developed is that of the person and the state. It's become a fact of life that governments have become very intimate with people, most always to their detriment. "

E L Doctorow
" It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way. "

E L Doctorow
" Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society. "

E L Doctorow
" Planning to write is not writing. Outlining, researching, talking to people about what you're doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing. "

E L Doctorow
" The writer isn't made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century. "

E L Doctorow
" There is no longer any such thing as fiction or nonfiction; there's only narrative. "

E L Doctorow
" We're always attracted to the edges of what we are, out by the edges where it's a little raw and nervy. "

E L Doctorow
" Writers are not just people who sit down and write. They hazard themselves. Every time you compose a book your composition of yourself is at stake. "

E L Doctorow
" Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. "

E L Doctorow
