"If you are going to be a writer……" — James A. Baldwin

"If you are going to be a writer there is nothing I can say to stop you; if you're not going to be a writer nothing I can say will help you. What you really need at the beginning is somebody to let you know that the effort is real."

James A. Baldwin
