Quotes by Thomas Wolfe
The surest cure for vanity is loneliness.
Wolfe, Thomas
Loneliness... is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man.
Wolfe, Thomas
Las Vegas is the only town in the world whose skyline is made up neither of buildings, like New York, nor of trees, like Wilbraham, Massachusetts, but signs.
Wolfe, Thomas
Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life.
Wolfe, Thomas
