Quote by Ann Hood

“Truman Capote said that he learned how to write a story not from reading but from sitting on his aunts' front porch in Alabama and listening to them tell stories. This was my earliest education in the art of storytelling too.”

“(July 29, 1949 letter to Truman Capote, in Tangiers, Morocco) You have probably never received those delicious epistles which I never wrote—let alone sent. But there you are selling grain in the marketplace with little Jane [Bowles]—and now both of you adored by Berbers and strange wide-eyed men such as have never adored me.

“The real warriors in this world are the ones that see the details of another's soul. They see the transparency behind walls people put up. They stand on the battlefield of life and expose their heart's transparency, so other's can finish the day with hope. They are the sensitive souls that understand that before they could be a light they first had to feel the burn.”

“Twitter y Facebook han puesto a cretinos, fanáticos, racistas, homófobos y transófobos en contacto entre sí, dándoles una sensación de hermandad y permitiendo que se crezcan. Antes de Twitter, un cretino tenía que tomarse la molestia de buscar la lista de afiliados al ultraderechista British Nacional Party para ponerse en contacto con otros cretinos. Ahora les basta con sacarse de la manga ciento cuarenta caracteres de bromitas racistas, homófobas, transófobas o misóginas.”
