I don't like the idea of the black race being diluted out of existence. I like the idea of all of us being here.

Very early in life I became fascinated with the wonders language can achieve. And I began playing with words.

... sometimes you have to deal / Devilishly with drowning men in order to swim them to shore.

People like definite decisions, / Tidy answers, all the little ravelings / Snipped off, the lint removed, they / Hop happily among their roughs / Calling what they can't clutch insanity / Or saintliness.

It is brave to be involved. To be not fearful to be unresolved.

First fight. Then fiddle.
