I am willing to compete on my merits and on my character – not with the color of my skin. We talk about being a color-blind society, but I dont think the political process could actually handle that. – J. C. Watts
I have always made my own rules, in poetry as in life – though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do, however, believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless. – Anne Stevenson
