*Non faccio nessuno sforzo cosciente per essere duro, o sodo, o agitato, o una qualsiasi cosa che chiamo di solito
:''I make no conscious effort to be tough, or hard-boiled, or grim, or any of the things I am usually called. I merely try to write as the character would write, and I never forget that the average man, from the fields, the streets, the bars, the offices, and even the gutters of his country, has acquired a vividness of speech that goes beyond anything I could invent, and that if I stick to this heritage, this logos of the American countryside, I shall attain a maximum of effectiveness with very little effort.''<ref>Citato in James Penner, ''Pinks, Pansies, and Punks: <small>The Rhetoric of Masculinity in American Literary Culture</small>'', p. 53, Indiana University Press, 2010.
