More quotes by Tom Wolfe

Tom Wolfe
Sometimes we don't even realize what we really care about, because we get so distracted by the symbols.
Tom Wolfe
My father was the editor of an agricultural magazine called 'The Southern Planter.' He didn't think of himself as a writer. He was a scientist, an agronomist, but I thought of him as a writer because I'd seen him working at his desk. I just assumed that I was going to do that, that I was going to be a writer.
