January 22, 2025
“Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.” —Ursula K. Le Guin

“I have a little framed document in my bathroom, a letter from, I think, the Texas Bureau of Corrections, saying that [my novel] Paradise was banned from the prison because it might incite a riot. And I thought, how powerful is that? I could tear up the whole place!” —Toni Morrison
