Toni Cade Bambara quotes about
taken language-words atmosphere

All writers, musicians, artists, choreographers/dancers, etc., work with the stuff of their experiences. It's the translation of it, the conversion of it, the shaping of it that makes for the drama.
lonely writing business-writing
It's a dismally lonely business, writing.

technology might asks
And what is religion, you might ask. It's a technology of living.
