“-It'll take a hell of a long time, but one day they will have their piece of the world, and my grandchildren will be going to school with their grandchildren or great-grandchildren. And whites will be marrying colored. And everyone becoming some kind of light shade if brown. That's what it'll be one day.”

“[T]he truth is that fullness of soul can sometimes overflow in utter vapidity of language, for none of us can ever express the exact measure of his needs or his thoughts or his sorrows; and human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.”
― Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
