More From Ralph Ellison

I've laid out a plan for how we keep people safe here at home, and i've laid out a plan of how we wage war and win by denying isis territory overseas. we must deny them their territory because the territory that they've conquered because hillary clinton and barack obama declared victory in iraq and against every generals advice withdrew all of our troops, leaving a vacuum, weaponry, territory for isis to conquer, that territory, their caliphate, is that from which they draw legitimacy, potency, credibility. we have to deny them that territory.

One describes a tale best by telling the tale. you see? the way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. it is a balancing act and it is a dream. the more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory. the most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless. the tale is the map that is the territory. you must remember this.
Dream Would Be Stories
I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
Can we only love something created in our own imaginations? are we all in fact unloving and unloveable? then one is alone, and if one is alone then lover and beloved are equally unreal and the dreamer is no more real than his dreams.

If our stressful thoughts aren't true, what does that leave? it leaves, "i am loveable" - the very thing i could never make myself believe, because "i'm unloveable" overrides it when the chips are down.

I'm speaking of the character of human beings, not what they believe in. i'm speaking of those who won't accept a useless life just because they were born to it. i mean those who would be something better. they work, they sacrifice, they do things..." he was moved by this, and i was a little surprised that i'd said it. yet i felt i'd had hurt him somehow.

I believe that all novels, ... deal with character, and that it is to express character – not to preach doctrines, sing songs, or celebrate the glories of the british empire, that the form of the novel, so clumsy, verbose, and undramatic, so rich, elastic, and alive, has been evolved ... the great novelists have brought us to see whatever they wish us to see through some character. otherwise they would not be novelists, but poet, historians, or pamphleteers.
