Money
|
Nov 07, 2020

Everybody gets everything handed to them. The rich inherit it. I don't mean just inheritance of money. I mean what people take for granted among the middle and upper classes, which is nepotism, the old-boy network.

Everything

Everything I've ever done, in the writing world, has been to expand articulation, rather than to close it.

Long

Insult
|
Nov 07, 2020

I always looked upon the acts of racist exclusion, or insult, as pitiable, from the other person. I never absorbed that. I always thought that there was something deficient about such people.

Broken
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't think a female running a house is a problem, a broken family. It's perceived as one because of the notion that a head is a man.

Money
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't think anybody cares about unwed mothers unless they're black or poor. The question is not morality, the question is money. That's what we're upset about.

Angry

I get angry about things, then go on and work.

Idea

Black

I merged those two words, black and feminist, because I was surrounded by black women who were very tough and and who always assumed they had to work and rear children and manage homes.

Talent
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think some aspects of writing can be taught. Obviously, you can't teach vision or talent. But you can help with comfort.

Problems

Nov 07, 2020

I would solve a lot of literary problems just thinking about a character in the subway, where you can't do anything anyway.

Brunt
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm always annoyed about why black people have to bear the brunt of everybody else's contempt. If we are not totally understanding and smiling, suddenly we're demons.

How
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm not entangled in shaping my work according to other people's views of how I should have done it.

Color
|
Nov 07, 2020

In becoming an American, from Europe, what one has in common with that other immigrant is contempt for me-it's nothing else but color.

Paradise
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's been mentioned or suggested that Paradise will not be well studied, because it's about this unimportant intellectual topic, which is religion.

Difference

Make a difference about something other than yourselves.

Even

Problems
|
Nov 07, 2020

Nelson Mandela is, for me, the single statesman in the world. The single statesman, in that literal sense, who is not solving all his problems with guns. It's truly unbelievable.

Moment
|
Nov 07, 2020

No one ever talks about the moment you found that you were white. Or the moment you found out you were black. That's a profound revelation. The minute you find that out, something happens. You have to renegotiate everything.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

One of my kids was born in 1968. There were going to be political difficulties, but they were never going to have that level of hatred and contempt that my brothers and my sister and myself were exposed to.
