Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?

Sometimes you got to hurt something to help something. Sometimes you have to plow under one thing in order for something else to grow.

I knew I wanted to be a writer and I knew if I had a wife and family, I would neglect something, and I was afraid it wouldn't be the writing.

I have no more to say except this: We must live with our own conscience.

A myth is an old lie that people believe in. White people believe that they're better than anyone else on earth - and that's a myth.

I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense.

...my heart may have been in it but my soul was not.
