No matter how much sunlight and fresh air she lets in, there’s always this dark little pocket of lingering night which she has to uncover.
“I’m a writer. My thoughts are formed by writing. When I want to think with any seriousness about a topic, I write about it. Writing slows the thought processes down to where one can follow them — and elaborate on them — more efficiently. Writing is how I do my thinking. Thus, if you want to understand what I think, ask me to write — not to speak.”
Samuel R. Delany
