I Wrote To Explain My Own Life

I Would Always Be A Better Hater Of Things And Institutions Than A Lover Of Them.

These Are The Quicksilver Moments Of My Childhood I Cannot Remember Entirely. Irresistible And Emblematic, I Can Recall Them Only In Fragments And Shivers Of The Heart.

I Could Bear The Memory, But I Could Not Bear The Music That Made The Memory Such A Killing Thing.

Of The Yamacraw Children, I Can Say Little. I Don't Think I Changed The Quality Of Their Lives Significantly Or Altered The Inexorable Fact That They Were Imprisoned By The Very Circumstance Of Their Birth.

Humanity Is Best Described As Inhumanity.
