I don’t try to be prophetic, as I don’t sit down to write literature. It is simply this: a writer has to take all the risks of putting down what he sees. No one can tell him about that. No one can control that reality. It reminds me of something Pablo Picasso was supposed to have said to Gertrude Stein while he was painting her portrait. Gertrude said, I don’t look like that. And Picasso replied, You will. And he was right.

…but I’m glad I wasn’t sitting for Picasso
Me, too.
With this post I think you may have become my new idol
I think it would be more appropriate to idolize the writer saying it: James Baldwin. But thanks just the same.
It’s genuinely very difficult in this full of
activity life to listen news on TV, thus I only use web for that reason, annd obtain the most
up-to-date news.
The web is good for that if you use the right sources.
