“If I am ever liberated from this bondage of racialism, there are some things much more exciting to me, objectively, to write about.…But this world has such a social orientation, and I am involved in this world and I can’t cut myself off."
To live with the conscious knowledge of the shadow of uncertainty, with the knowledge that disaster or tragedy could strike at any time; to be afraid and to know and acknowledge your fear, and still to live creatively and with unstinting love: that is to live with grace.
With Shakespeare and poetry, a new world was born. New dreams, new desires, a self consciousness was born. I desired to know to know myself in terms of the new standards set by these books.
