“Generally, the arguments for same-sex marriage go along these lines: 'I have a civil right.' What the homosexual movement wants to do is to hitch their agenda to the civil rights movement, but I point out that this is illegitimate for a number of reasons. Number one, no black person has ever left his black-ness or changed his black-ness, but plenty of people have come out of the homosexual movement.

“Those who first invented and then named the constellations were storytellers. Tracing an imaginary line between a cluster of stars gave them an image and an identity. The stars threaded on that line were like events threaded on a narrative. Imagining the constellations did not of course change the stars, nor did it change the black emptiness that surrounds them. What it changed was the way people read the night sky.” PeopleWayFirstsNightCoursesStarsBlackLinesSkyEventsIdentityChangedNarrativeEmptinessSurroundImaginaryStorytellerConstellationsNight SkyClustersTracingImaginary Lines Book:And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos Source: And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos
“I feel like a lot has changed - ebooks are a much more valid format and bigger presses are taking less chances. As a bookseller, there are less real bookstores and more people buying on-line.
