John Henrik Clarke
When I was able to go to school in my early years, my third grade teacher, Ms. Harris, convinced me that one day I would be a writer. I heard her, but I knew that I had to leave Georgia, and unlike my friend Ray Charles, I did not go around with 'Georgia on My Mind'.

Write every day. You don't have to write about...At the end of the day, you can't compete...I really believe in the philosophy that you create...Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being...You might as well expect rivers to run backwards...I am a person who always tries not to be easily influenced...
