America250 Quotes

“I go in search of the real America beyond the scare-you-to-death news headlines. Embracing the pace of a wanderer -- not a tourist. I was a "detourist." I didn't follow an itinerary. Followed hunches and locals saying, "It's just 15 minutes that way-you can't miss it." Spoiler: I missed it. But what I found instead was better."  ”
― John W. Butler

“Often dismayed by but generally unflinching in the face of perpetual adversity, he [W.E.B. Du Bois] engaged the battle for equal human rights and for modern civilization itself as an educator, literary artist, international statesman (albeit one without official U.S. government sanction), and perhaps above all else, as an evolved spiritual being capable of at once fiercely excoriating his enemies with unrelenting condemnation and gently embracing them with fraternal compassion.”
― Aberjhani, The Wisdom of W.E.B. Du Bois
