If it's purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it's going to fail. ~Nick Flynn

Something will be there when the flood recedes. We know that. It will be those people now standing in the water, and on those rooftops, many black, many poor. Homeless. Overlooked.

A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford
