The Quotes

Foster Dickson is a writer, editor, and teacher in Montgomery, Alabama. He is the author of Closed Ranks, the editor of Nobody’s Home and level:deepsouth, and the coordinator of the Fitzgerald Museum’s annual Literary Contest.

From February 2014 until April 2017, Foster published “A writer-editor-teacher’s quote of the week” every Sunday afternoon. These quotes came from whatever he was reading at the time. After a nearly six-year hiatus, he has revisited the idea of this series and, in January 2023, resumed publishing these brief excerpts from his readings.
