My Name Is Sherman J. Alexie Jr.,

If You're Good At It, And You Love It, And It Helps You Navigate The River Of The World, Then It Can't Be Wrong.

Life Is A Constant Struggle Between Being An Individual And Being A Member Of The Community.

Pain Is Never Added To Pain. It Multiplies.

But We Danced, Under Wigs And Between Unfinished Walls, Through Broken Promises And Around Empty Cupboards.

If I Wasn't Writing Poems I'd Be Washing My Hands All The Time.
