Will Grace
class people
I liked the education. I liked people learning things all around me and I liked going to people's classes.
believe ideas fads
I believe in a kind of fidelity to your own early ideas; it's a kind of antagonism in me to prevailing fads.
husband years library
I saw my ex-husband in the street. I was sitting on the steps of the new library. Hello, my life, I said. We had once been married for twenty-seven years, so I felt justified. He said, What? What life? No life of mine.
real writing vocabulary
My language limitations here are real. My vocabulary is adequate for writing notes and keeping journals but absolutely useless for an active moral life. If I really knew this language, there would surely be in my head, as there is in Webster's or the Dictionary of American Slang, that unreducible verb designed to tell a person like me what to do next.
new-york book college
I don't have any degrees. I went to Hunter College one year and New York University another year. It's just on the basis of my books that I've been hired at any of the places I've been.

Today's wars are about oil. But alternate energies exist now - solar, wind - for every important energy-using activity in our lives. The only human work that cannot be done without oil is war.

If you want to do things, do things.

Everyone, real or invented, deserves the open destiny of life.
action features
The only recognizable feature of hope is action.
careers normal divides
The word career is a divisive word. It's a word that divides the normal life from business or professional life.
good-life survival interest-in-life
All that is really necessary for survival of the fittest, it seems, is an interest in life, good, bad or peculiar.
justice underdog world
Literature, fiction, poetry, whatever, makes justice in the world. That's why it almost always has to be on the side of the underdog.
writing people trying
I am very interested in people trying to write because I don't have a big academic background at all.
