“We were what you would call a poor family, but we were rich in so many...” — August Wilson Quote

“We were what you would call a poor family, but we were rich in so many things. We did family things together. We always had dessert, even if it was just Jell-O. So, I never knew I was poor.”

“I didn't always value the ways black people talked. I thought, in order to make art out of it, you had to change it.”

“I don't write particularly to effect social change. I believe writing can do that, but that's not why I write.”

“I have a sweet tooth. I love dessert, and if somebody makes me one, I'm going to have it.”

“My whole thing is simple, well-balanced meals. I have to say, though, that I really like dessert. I try not to eat dessert every day, but I'll have dessert every now and then.”

“Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table.”
