Quote by Toni Cade Bambara

"The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you know the stuff you're dealing with, the forces that make you move. Then the facts make sense."

"If you write what you know, you're always going to be upstaged by life itself."

"Stories are important. They keep us alive."

"We have to talk to each other so we can say or do what's supposed to be said or done."

"The stage is my true home."

"Art is the expression of the soul."

"Living well means living properly."

"Art and music are the treasures of civilization"
