Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.

It is good taste and good taste alone that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.

I started writing when I had three kids under the age of 4. I used to write every ten minutes I got to sit in front of a computer. Now when I have more time I function the same way: if it's writing time I write.

I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
