“Of course Im a black writer.... Im not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer arent marginal anymore.

—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“When a sparrow sips in the river, the water doesnt recede. Giving charity does not deplete wealth. Saint Kabir says so.”
