“Like most writers, I tend to find out what I feel on a subject by writing about it. It is how we interpret the world, how we make sense of it.”
― Robert Galbraith, The Silkworm

“Letters becoming words, words gathering meaning, becoming thoughts outside my head becoming sentences written by Jacqueline Amanda Woodson”
― Jacqueline Woodson, Brown Girl Dreaming

“You must not be too severe upon yourself," replied Elizabeth.

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“The first time I write my full name
Jacqueline Amanda Woodson
without anybody' help
on a clean white page in my composition notebook,
I know
If I wanted to
I could write anything
Letters becoming words, words gathering meaning, becoming
thoughts outside my head
becoming sentences
written by
Jacqueline Amanda Woodson”
― Jacqueline Woodson, Brown Girl Dreaming
