• Because I am not yet living up to what Jesus expects me to be in those red letters in the Bible, I always define myself as somebody who is saved by God's grace and is on his way to becoming a Christian.

• There are poems
  that are never written,
  that simply move across
  the mind
  like skywriting
  on a still day:
  slowly the first word
  drifts west,
  the last letters dissolve
  on the tongue,
  and what is left
  is the pure blue
  of insight, without cloud
  or comfort.

• I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
  In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.

  Tahereh Mafi

  Frances Wright
