I Fell Into Shame Like

I Have Wanted Everything As A Writer And A Woman, But Most Of All A World Changed Utterly By My Revelations.

I Fell Into Shame Like A Suicide Throws Herself Into A River. (253)

I Think I Would Have Died If There Hadn't Been The Women's Movement.

It Ain't That You Get Religion. Religion Gets You And Then Milks You Dry. Won't Let You Drink A Little Whiskey. Won't Let You Make No Fat-assed Girls Grin And Giggle. Won't Let You Do A Damn Thing Except Work For What You'll Get In The Hearafter. I Live In The Here And Now.

Writing Is The Only Way I Know To Demand Justice From An Uncaring Universe.
