Given those characteristics, you can find people who believe in almost anything. It's God's way, they say. God's word. And there are those who will accept that. Gladly. Because, you see, it eliminates the need to think.”
“There is no trickier subject for a writer from the South than that of affection between a black person and a white one in the unequal world of segregation.
