Writing can’t change the world overnight, but writing may have an enormous effect over time, over the long haul. Leslie Marmon Silko Read Quote

To be able to make up stories has been a great gift to me from my ancestors and from the storytellers who were so numerous at Laguna Pueblo when I was growing up. I learned to read as soon as I could because I wanted stories without having to depend on adults to tell or read stories to me. Leslie Marmon Silko Read Quote
