“When they get in my chair, I want them to experience hope and history. I want to free their minds, Elizabeth. I understand them ’cuz I still remember what it was like to want to look good so you could get a job and a woman and a house and some kids.” He lowered the chair and turned it toward the mirror in one motion, putting his giant hands on the young man’s shoulders. “Son, remember this—all you got is your name.” Langston now stooped down by his ear. “No matter how hard they try, they can’t take your name.”
Robert Justice, They Can't Take Your Name

“We have a way of turning on the very ones that God sends to set us free.”
Robert Justice, They Can't Take Your Name

“There is a difference between questions and questioning.”
