Gwendolyn Brooks Quotes
A writer should get as much education as possible, but just going to school is not enough; if it were, all owners of doctorates would be inspired writers.



The brawniest will not beat back the storm Nor the heaviest haul your little boy from harm.



Abortions will not let you forget.You remember the children you got that you did not get,The damp small pulps with a little or with no hair,The singers and workers that never handled the air.You will never neglect or beatThem, or silence or buy with a sweet.You will never wind up the sucking-thumbOr scuttle off ghosts that come.



Poetry is life distilled.
