Here are some memorable quotes by Tom Wolfe:
”The problem with fiction, it has to be plausible. That’s not true with non-fiction.”
”One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.”
”You can’t ignore politics, no matter how much you’d like to.”
”The surest cure for vanity is loneliness.”
”A cult is a religion with no political power.”
”The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.”
”The idea was to live among the people you were writing about and to try to understand them and get the feel of the times.”
”The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively – because, without this humble appliance, you can’t know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.”
”One of the few freedoms that we have as human beings that cannot be taken away from us is the power to think for ourselves.”
”My children are coming to know who I am. I’m not just some guy who writes a big check and goes off and sits in a corner.”
These quotes reflect Wolfe’s keen observations on society, politics, writing, and the human condition, showcasing his wit, insight, and unique perspective on the world.
