Wallace Stegner Quotes:
Ocupation: Historian
Life: February 18, 1909 - April 13, 1993
Birthday: February 18
Death: April 13
I am terribly glad to be alive; and when I have wit enough to think about it, terribly proud to be a man and an American, with all the rights and privileges that those words connote; and most of all I am humble before the responsibilities that are also mine. For no right comes without a responsibility, and being born luckier than most of the world's millions, I am also born more obligated.
