1 | My favorite thing to notice is that the ravages of greed have not entirely destroyed nature's ability to surprise us with its beauty. |
2 | On writing: I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book. If art doesn't make us better, then what on earth is it for? |
3 | On writing: We inherit a great responsibility as well for we must give voice to centuries not only of silent bitterness and hate but also of neighborly kindness and sustaining love. |
4 | On reading: Poetry, I have discovered, is always unexpected and always as faithful and honest as dreams. |
5 | On success: Women have to summon up courage to fulfill dormant dreams. |
6 | If by some miracle in all our struggle the earth is spared from nuclear holocaust, only justice to every living thing will save humankind. |
7 | The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men. |
8 | ...For me, Black women are the most fascinating creations in the world. |
9 | I'm always amazed that people will actually choose to sit in front of the television and just be savaged by stuff that belittles their intelligence. |
10 | It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures; by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all. |
11 | Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence. |
12 | Anybody can observe the Sabbath, but making it holy surely takes the rest of the week. |
