So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan

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
