    Erskine Caldwell (1988). “Conversations with Erskine Caldwell”, p.102, Univ. Press of Mississippi

  • Sometimes it just amazes me how many people desperately want to protect my personal information. Ten thousand reflections hide the true gem. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
