Quote by Ice Cube

I used to love to draw. I didn't want to go to art class because I felt that would be too corny when I was young, but architectural drafting was the cool thing to do because there was more precision. It taught me a lot about building and structures and doorways and frames and windowsills.

What one means by integrity, in the case of the novelist, is the conviction that he gives one that this is the truth. . . .
