I Fell Into Shame Like

I Did Not Begin With Craft, I Began With Strong Feelings And Worked Toward Craft.

Two Or Three Things I Know, Two Or Three Things I Know For Sure, And One Of Them Is That To Go On Living I Have To Tell Stories, That Stories Are The One Sure Way I Know To Touch The Heart And Change The World

I Was Born Trash In A Land Where The People All Believe Themselves Natural Aristocrats.

It Ain't That You Get Religion. Religion Gets You And Then Milks You Dry. Won't Let You Drink A Little Whiskey. Won't Let You Make No Fat-assed Girls Grin And Giggle. Won't Let You Do A Damn Thing Except Work For What You'll Get In The Hearafter. I Live In The Here And Now.

I Have A Terrible Memory.
