let your kids go to the movies!
get them out of the house so they wont know what youre up to
its true that fresh air is good for the body
but what about the soul
that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images”

“If writers were too wise, perhaps no books would get written at all. It might be better to ask yourself Why? afterwards than before. Anyway, the force from somewhere in Space which commands you to write in the first place, gives you no choice. You take up the pen when you are told, and write what is commanded. There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (18911960)
