Quotes

I think it's God that makes people care for people, Jefferson. I think it's God makes children play and people sing. I believe it's God that brings loved ones together. I believe it's God that makes trees bud and food grow out of the earth. Ernest Gaines
I was raised by a lady that was crippled all her life but she did everything for me and she raised me. She washed our clothes, cooked our food, she did everything for us. I don't think I ever heard her complain a day in her life. She taught me responsibility towards my brother and sisters and the community. Ernest Gaines
I don't care what a man is. I mean, a great artist is like a great doctor. I don't care how racist he is. If he can show me how to operate on a heart so that I can cure a brother, or cure someone else, I don't give a damn what the man thinks; he has taught me something. And that is valuable to me. And that is valuable to others and man as a whole. Ernest Gaines
I think I'm a very religious person. I think I believe in God as much as any man does. I don't only believe in God, I know there's God. Ernest Gaines
We've only been living in these ghettos for seventy-five years or so, but the other three hundred years -- I think this is worth writing about. I think we've made tremendous sacrifices, we've shown tremendous strength. In the ghetto you see a lot of frustration; you see very little strength. Ernest Gaines
Writing is too goddamned hard for me to think about a soul in teh world ... I don't think about a soul, but just try to get those goddamned characters to act right. Ernest Gaines
I like the sound of people's voices, and I think what a man says can very well tell what he's thinking, whether he's lying or not. Ernest Gaines
Ernest Gaines quote: "I want you to show them the difference between what they think..."
I want you to show them the difference between what they think you are and what you can be. Ernest Gaines
I write to try to find out who I am. One of my main themes is manliness. I think I'm trying to figure out what manliness really is. Ernest Gaines
