i was trying (unsuccessfully) to dig up a Toni Morrison quote. then i figured it's always a good time for #ToniMorrison quotes. so here you go.
'When I was teaching at Princeton, I had one course in creative writing. And I would tell the students… I do not want you to write anything about your little life. I know you have been taught to write about what you know. I’m telling you, do not do that. You don’t know anything. So I want you to invent.'
