...my Heart May Have Been In It

What I Miss Today More Than Anything Else - I Don't Go To Church As Much Anymore - But That Old-time Religion, That Old Singing, That Old Praying Which I Love So Much. That Is The Great Strength Of My Being, Of My Writing.

I Have Learned As Much About Writing About My People By Listening To Blues And Jazz And Spirituals As I Have By Reading Novels.

Everything's Been Said, But It Needs Saying Again.

Without Love For My Fellow Man And Respect For Nature, To Me, Life Is An Obscenity.

...my Heart May Have Been In It But My Soul Was Not.
