"I know how to write forever. I don't think I could have happily stayed here in the world if I did not have a way of thinking about it, which is what writing is for me. It's control. Nobody tells me what to do. It's mine, it''s free, and it's a way of thinking. It's pure knowledge." Toni Morrison

" You have to practice your art, as does any artist, which in m view, means you dedicate at least part of each day of your entire life to nothing else."---Bud Goodall, The New Ethnography
