One who sets his heart on cleansing himself from the uncleannesses that beset men’s souls … becomes clean as soon as he consents in his heart to shun those counsels and brings his soul into the waters of pure reason.

Thought:

“I think of myself as someone who thinks largely through writing. Thus I write more than most people, and I write in many different forms. I think of myself as the kind of person who writes, rather than as one kind of writer or another. That’s about the closest I come to categorizing myself as one or another kind of artist.”

Samuel R. Delany
