When you notice light seeping into your coffin, it’s hard to go on pretending that you’re still dead Picture Quote #1

At my funeral, if one said, ‘Nick was a generous person,’ trust me I won’t be doing cartwheels in my coffin. Recognition from people is never and never will be a goal.

When I was younger, I ate nothing but fried food. Everything was fried, from oysters to chicken to potatoes to vegetables.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw someone who had died. It was my grandfather. And I knelt next to his coffin. And all I could do was eye level was look at his hands. They were enormous hands. And all I could think was, ‘Those hands dug freedom for me.’ Picture Quote #1

I wrote a great deal about the Civil Rights Movement when I was writing for ‘The Nation’ in the 60s, and also for Esquire magazine.
