Being a writer but also having been raised the way I was, I tend to turn to books for answers.

The most basic human impulse is toward entropy and laziness. The less we have to do to grow spiritually, the more likely we are to do it.

The belief that we can be done with our past is a myth.

Yes, as an oppressed people, American Indians have this epic burden, but first and foremost, they're human: sometimes a mess, sometimes funny or sad, at times very wise, and other times not wise at all - a lot like me.
- Matter
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That's the advantage of being a writer: No matter what happens, as long as you survive it, it goes into the work.
- Person

I'm unconventional and eccentric and talk things out, and it seemed that the person I married - maybe in reaction - got quieter and more conventional over time. It felt as if we were putting each other in a straitjacket.
- Broken

- Nov 07, 2020
There are real consequences when women speak out. It's really dangerous, and it takes real courage. We are still speaking out against a white male majority. Forget the glass ceiling. We haven't even broken the glass floor!
- Hard Work

Everyone says marriage is hard work, but they don't tell you that actually being yourself and respecting yourself is hard work.
- Job

I'm a working writer; this is my job. So it matters to me that it's good. I sweat over every word. I don't just vomit this stuff up. It's agony. The only thing that comes close is childbirth, except it's like being in labor for eighteen months.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can have an intense connection to someone without being a good, lifelong mate for him. Love is complicated and difficult that way.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I look around and pay attention to what around me is not being talked about, and then I talk about it with as much humour and honesty as I can. All my books have been that way.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, writing is really an agony. I feel as if I have a huge, luminous idea that has the potential to be really profound, and then when I set it down on paper, I find the power of the idea has been hugely weakened in the process of transmission.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
Mostly, I would like people to ask other writers about the craft of their writing so we could learn from one another. We ask movie directors why they chose to use certain lights and angles and speeds of film, but most of the time, we ignore the craft of a writer.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The only process that comes close to the process of writing a whole book, in my experience, is childbirth. There is this moment when you think you can't possibly labour for another moment, and that, paradoxically, is when you have to push hardest.
- Ambition
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the West, it was believed that attitude and ambition saved you. In Africa, we had learned that no one was immune to capricious tragedy.
