Black Coffee discussion

Another game guys! Yep I stole this one too! Ha! Let's give it a try and see how far we get in this game. It can be a quote from a book or an author. Try to make it a famous author/book so that it's not too hard to figure out! Of course I'll start it.

(BOOK)

“Man corrupt everything...He on your box of grits, in your head, and all over the radio. He try to make you think he everywhere. Soon as you think he everywhere, you think he God. But he ain't."

Answer: The Color Purple


"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise"

Answer- Les Misérables

“The pursuit of knowing was freedom to me, the right to declare your own curiosities and follow them through all manner of books. I was made for the library, not the classroom. The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free. Slowly, I was discovering myself.”

i know i should wait but i love this quote too. different author and book. i think it's a little easier as well.


"And while we are discussing this, let me say a thing. A hashtag is not helping.

#StopPretendingHashtagsAreTheSameAsDoingSomething

Hashtags are very pretty on Twitter. I love them. I will hashtag myself into next week. But a hashtag is not a movement. A hashtag does not make you Dr. King. A hashtag does not change anything. It's a hashtag. It's you, sitting on your butt, typing into your computer and then going back to binge-watching your favorite show.

Volunteer some hours. Focus on something outside yourself. Devote a slice of your energies toward making the world suck less every week."
