Michael Eric Dyson Quotes
I think we have to face right in the center of the hurricane, if you will, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s foibles and faults.

If you're going to be a writer you should sit down and write in the morning, and keep it up all day, every day. Charles Bukowski, no matter how drunk he got the night before or no matter how hungover he was, the next morning he was at his typewriter. Every morning. Holidays, too.
