Additional quotes by Gwendolyn Brooks

To create - a role, a poem, picture, music, a rapture in stone: great. But not for her.
What she wanted was to donate to the world a good Maud Martha. That was the offering, the bit of art, that could not come from any other.
She would polish and hone that.

I shall create! If not a note, a hole./If not an overture, a desecration.

Somebody muffed it?? Somebody wanted to joke.
