Select Ralph Ellison Quotations
I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.
Ralph Ellison
Had the price of looking been blindness, I would have looked.
Ralph Ellison

Ralph Ellison

Ralph Ellison
The end is in the beginning and lies far ahead.
Ralph Ellison
By and large, the critics and readers gave me an affirmed sense of my identity as a writer. You might know this within yourself, but to have it affirmed by others is of utmost importance. Writing is, after all, a form of communication.
