American Hunger Quotes

“I wanted to try to build a bridge of words between me and that world outside, that world which was so distant and elusive that it seemed unreal.”
― Richard Wright, American Hunger

“I felt that without a common bond uniting men, without a continuous current of shared thought and feeling circulating through the social system, like blood coursing through the body, there could be no living worthy of being called human.”
― Richard Wright, American Hunger
