The following are passages from The America Play and Other Works by Suzan-Lori Parks (i want to meet her) :

as a child i wanted to do something great
like become a go-go dancer
or a geologist
or ascend into heaven

(i think she stole my thoughts)

DANCE
if you're one who writes sitting down, once before you die try dancing around as you write. it's the old world way of getting to the deep shit.

(did that today)

HUMOR
Laughter is very powerful- it's not a way of escaping anything but a way of arriving on the scene. Think about laughter and what happens to your body- it's almost the same thing that happens to you when you throw up.

HISTORY
History is time that won't quit.
(...time won't quit anyway...)

ETYMOLOGY
Words are spells in our mouths...Language is a physical act...
