quotes by Colson Whitehead
"Google “brooklyn writer” and you’ll get, Did you mean: the future of literature as we know it?"
— Colson Whitehead
— Colson Whitehead
"Isn't it great when you're a kid and the world is full of anonymous things? Everything is bright and mysterious until you know what it is called and then all the light goes out of it...Once we knew the name of it, how could we ever come to love it?...For things had true natures, and they hid behind false names, beneath the skin we gave them."
— Colson Whitehead (Apex Hides the Hurt: A Novel)
— Colson Whitehead (Apex Hides the Hurt: A Novel)
"Colored, Negro, Afro-American, African American. ... Every couple of years someone came up with something that got us an inch closer to the truth. Bit by bit we crept along. As if that thing we believed to be approaching actually existed."
— Colson Whitehead (Apex Hides the Hurt: A Novel)
