Nature

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Where we come from in America no longer signifies. It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are."

Change

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"I feel very transparent in myself. I'm more of an observer. I'm interested in what's going on. I'm not sure that I really have a personality. Some people think I do have a personality. I have a personality when I am with certain people - but when I'm not with them I don't have that personality. I just sort of go back to resembling a transparent glass of water."

Self

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"This was before voice mail, recorded phone messages you can't escape. Life was easier then. You just didn't pick up the phone."

Reflection

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"I'm drawn to write about upstate New York in the way in which a dreamer might have recurring dreams. My childhood and girlhood were spent in upstate New York, in the country north of Buffalo and West of Rochester. So this part of New York state is very familiar to me and, with its economic difficulties, has become emblematic of much of American life."

Culture

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Art serves a purpose. It expands our horizons, frees our minds, and opens us up to new experiences. It opens the imagination. All these great discoveries of our time - without the desire to reach beyond our boundaries, we would be forever stagnant. The folly is in closing one's eyes and not recognizing it."

Art

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"How strange it is, to be walking away. Is it possible that I am really going to leave Ray-here? Is it possible that he won't be coming home with me in another day or two, as we'd planned? Such a thought is too profound for me to grasp. It's like fitting a large unwieldy object in a small space. My brain hurts, trying to contain it."

Life

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Only when men are connected to large universal goals are they really happy-and one result of their happiness is a rush of creative activity."

Motivation

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"This is my life now. Absurd, but unpredictable. Not absurd because unpredictable but unpredictable because absurd. If I have lost the meaning of my life, I might still find small treasured things among the spilled and pilfered trash."

Life

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"You never give such relationships a thought, To give a thought, to take a thought is a function of dissociation, distance. You can't exercise memory until you've removed yourself from memory's source."
