Quotes by James Earl Hardy (?)

“You got somebody in your corner, you lucky ... and blessed. And when you get that, you gotta know it, stand by it, and treat it with care. To nurture it. To build on it.”
― James Earl Hardy, B-Boy Blues: A Seriously Sexy, Fiercely Funny, Black-on-Black Love Story

“All of us are starving … for attention, for love, for understanding. I don't care what the sisters say: we take more shit than they do in this life, 'cause we are brothers in a white man's world, and there ain't no space for us. Never has been, never will be. All we want, all we need is someone to love us for who we are, to grow with us, so that the world ain't such a bad place.”
― James Earl Hardy, B-Boy Blues: A Seriously Sexy, Fiercely Funny, Black-on-Black Love Story
