“I believe that all literatures can have political uses and misuses. Sometimes politics can enhance, sometimes it can get in the way of imaginative literature. . . . I'm not sure one can be a creative writer and a politician -- not a "good" politician.” WayBelieveSometimesUsePoliticalLiteratureI BelieveCreativePoliticianNot SureImaginativeMisuseCreative WritersGood Politicians Author:Gayl Jones
“There are things that a woman sings, and only a woman knows the full meaning. You may sing for men as well as for women, but only a woman knows your full meaning. I am not a feminista. I only think a woman should be true to who she believes herself to be. Or who she wants herself to be. Or who she imagines herself to be. I don't know what I mean, or whether I'm true myself to any of that. I don't think there are many of us who are true to our possibilities.” ThinkingKnowsMenWantShouldBelieveWellsMayMeanImaginePossibilityBeing True Author:Gayl Jones
