"In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all."

I'd say, [writing memoir] not so much a model, but maybe to provide an insight, here or there, to help somebody come to terms with the dark corners of their own soul, to come to terms with the undecided, their own sense of self, and maybe help develop a capacity to love - to love wisdom, love justice.

— Cornel West
