More From Albert Finney

The monument serves to remind the appellate courts and judges of the circuit and district courts of this state and members of the bar who appear before them as well as the people of alabama who visit the alabama judicial building of the truth stated in the preamble of the alabama constitution, that in order to establish justice we must invoke the favor and guidance of almighty god.

The children of birmingham did not really die in the state of alabama, however, because alabama is a state of mind, and in the minds of the [white] men who rule alabama, those children had never lived [...] their blood is on so many hands, that history will weep in the telling...and it is not new blood. it is old, so very old.

But something stirred across the country because of what happened in selma, alabama, because some folks were willing to march across a bridge. and so they [my parents] got together, barack obama jr. was born. so don't tell me i don't have a claim on selma, alabama. don't tell me i'm not coming home when i come to selma, alabama.

I got a rejection letter from an editor at harpercollins, who included a report from his professional reader. this report shredded my first-born novel, laughed at my phrasing, twirled my lacy pretensions around and gobbed into the seething mosh pit of my stolen clichés. as i read the report, the world became very quiet and stopped rotating. what poisoned me was the fact that the report's criticisms were all absolutely true. the sound of my landlady digging in the garden got the world moving again. i slipped the letter into the trash... knowing i'd remember every word.

We must be forewarned that only rarely does a text easily lend itself to the reader's curiosity... the reading of a text is a transaction between the reader and the text, which mediates the encounter between the reader and writer. it is a composition between the reader and the writer in which the reader "rewrites" the text making a determined effort not to betray the author's spirit.

Many liberals believe in god; many conservatives do. what matters is not whether people believe in god but what text, if any, they believe to be divine. those who believe that he has spoken through a given text will generally think differently from those who believe that no text is divine. such people will usually get their values from other texts, or more likely from their conscience and heart.

I was recently asked what it takes to become a writer. three things, i answered: first, one must cultivate incompetence at almost every other form of profitable work. this must be accompanied, second, by a haughty contempt for all the forms of work that one has established one cannot do. to these two must be joined, third, the nuttiness to believe that other people can be made to care about your opinions and views and be charmed by the way you state them. incompetence, contempt, lunacy—once you have these in place, you are set to go.

Democracy is in the blood of musalmans, who look upon complete equality of manhood [mankind]…[and] believe in fraternity, equality and liberty.
