Saul Williams
Quakers almost as good as colored. They call themselves friends and you can trust them every time.
Harriet Tubman
I'm a morning person because I learned to write my novels while still practicing law. I would get to the office at 6:30 a.m. and write until other people arrived, around 9. Now I still do that.
