I Read A Lot. I Liked A

The Women's Movement Was Coming, But I Didn't Know It In 1956-1957, When I Began To Write.

I Should Have Written More. I Should Have Written More During The Period When I Just Liked So Much Doing The Political Work In The Streets.

Sometimes Before People Know What They're Saying, They Already Love The Language.

I Was Fortunate That By The Time I Was Born, There Were A Lot Of Comforts And At The Same Time I Lived In A Neighborhood Where It Was Brought To My Eyes Every Single Day That People Didn't Live Like Me. Every Day I Knew That Many Of My Friends "got Relief." That Was Important In My Thinking About The World, Thinking That Not Everybody Lived That Way.

I Do Lots Of Reading And Speaking At Many Universities About Literature And Also About Politics, Which Is As Much A Part Of My Life As The Literature.
