I don't know any other way to live but to wake up every day armed with my convictions, not yielding them to the threat of danger and to the power and force of people who might despise me.
I am a glutton for tranquility.
I'm not sure I'm trying to communicate a message. I'm just trying to be part of the movement away from the unacceptable present.
The writer is the visionary of his people... He anticipates, he warns.
Books and all forms of writing are terror to those who wish to suppress the truth.
I'm an Afro-realist. I take what comes, and I do my best to affect what is unacceptable in society.
