Quarrel & Quandary Quotes

“A genuine essay has no educational, polemical, or sociopolitical use; it is the movement of the free mind at play. Though it is written in prose, it is closer in kind to poetry than to any other form. Like a poem, a genuine essay is made out of lenguage and character and mood and temperament and pluck and chance.”
― Cynthia Ozick, Quarrel & Quandary: Essays
