If a writer is to tell his own story – tell it slowly, and as if it were a story about other people – if he is to feel the power of the story rise up inside him, if he is to sit down at a table and patiently give himself over to this art – this craft – he must first have been given some hope.
I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives.

Seeing Jay Z’s just a great example of somebody who comes from a ghetto to rise to where he’s at. I think… he done a great job.

I would ask: Given the nature of free-market capitalism – where the rule is to rise to the top at all costs – is it possible to have a financial industry hero? And by the way, this is not a pop-culture trend we’re talking about. There aren’t many financial heroes in literature, theater or cinema.
When Japan was on the rise, American governors would come to inspect Toyota City and study ‘just in time’ manufacturing to increase efficiency; when America was at its peak in the late 1990s, the world beat a path to its venture capitalists.

There can be no rise in the value of labour without a fall of profits.
And if you don’t believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.

Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy, wealthy, and dead.
Something happened in the nineties. There was a shift. I don’t want to blame it on grunge or the rise of indie – but that was basically it. It was seen as dirty and kind of ignorant to have these ambitions, to want to be a big band.
