"I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong.

Writers today have as many opportunities as my generation did, but they don't see the examples as clearly as we did."

I think this is a good thing to think about for any community; what is important is that our voices be heard and not swallowed in an abyss of history."
