Elizabeth Hardwick Quotes

Gossip, or, as we gossips like to say, character analysis Picture Quote #1

Self-love is an idolatry. Self-hatred is a tragedy Picture Quote #1

Sometimes one has the feeling of an almost supernatural character to the shifts and changes in our national mood. They appear beyond the prose of cause and effect Picture Quote #1

Gertrude Stein, all courage and will, is a soldier of minimalism. Her work, unlike the resonating silences in the art of Samuel Beckett, embodies in its loquacity and verbosity the curious paradox of the minimalist form. This art of the nuance in repetition and placement she shares with the orchestral compositions of Philip Glass Picture Quote #1

When you travel your first discovery is that you do not exist Picture Quote #1

Biology is destiny only for girls Picture Quote #1

Art is a profession, not a shrine Picture Quote #1

While you are living, part of you has slipped away to the cemetery Picture Quote #1

Sex, without society as its landscape, has never been of much interest to fiction Picture Quote #1

How certain human beings are able to create works of art is a mystery, and why they should wish to do so, at a great cost to themselves usually, is another mystery. Works are not created by one’s life; every life is rich in material Picture Quote #1

Books give not wisdom where none was before. But where some is, there reading makes it more Picture Quote #1

The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination Picture Quote #1

The language of the younger generation has the brutality of the city and an assertion of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism Picture Quote #1

Letters are above all useful as a means of expressing the ideal self; and no other method of communication is quite so good for this purpose. In letters we can reform without practice, beg without humiliation, snip and shape embarrassing experiences to the measure of our own desires Picture Quote #1

Writing is not the establishment of a professional reputation as if one were a doctor or lawyer; it is not properly in the sentence with creation of a family and the purchase of a home Picture Quote #1

I have come to the belief that there is not merely an accidental relationship between bad writing and routine sociological research, but a wonderfully pure, integral relationship; the awkwardness is necessary and inevitable Picture Quote #1

Sometimes one has the feeling of an almost supernatural character to the shifts and changes in our national mood. They appear beyond the prose of cause and effect Picture Quote #1

Here in the city the worst thing that can happen to a nation has happened: we are a people afraid of its youth Picture Quote #1

Flattery is a challenge. The proper turning away from it, undercutting, diminishing it without offense or vehemence, is a social grace sweeter even than the swift determination to keep ahead in the race of hospitality Picture Quote #1

The laughter of adults was always very different from the laughter of children. The former indicated a recognition of the familiar, but in children it came from the shock of the new Picture Quote #1

It’s one of the things writing students don’t understand. They write a first draft and are quite disappointed, or often should be disappointed. They don’t understand that they have merely begun, and that they may be merely beginning even in the second or third draft Picture Quote #1

Adversity is a great teacher, but this teacher makes us pay dearly for its instruction; and often the profit we derive, is not worth the price we paid Picture Quote #1

Since films and television have staged everything imaginable before it happens, a true event, taking place in the real world, brings to mind the landscape of films Picture Quote #1

They had created themselves together, and they always saw themselves, their youth, their love, their lost youth and lost love, their failures and memories, as a sort of living fiction Picture Quote #1
