“The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.”
― Oscar WIlde

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
― C.S. Lewis

“You have to be so genuinely uncategorizable that the normal terms of identity don't even apply to you ... Like Judy here: we never see him with anyone, we don't know what race he is, we don't know anything about him. Post-sexual, post-racial, post-identity, post-past ... The Post-man. Jude the Postman.”

“We are the memories we don't remember, which live in us, which we feel, which make us sing and dance and pray the way we do, feelings from memories that flare and bloom unexpectedly in our lives like blood through a blanket from a wound made by a bullet fired by a man shooting us in the back for our hair, for our heads, for a bounty, or just to get rid of us.”
― Tommy Orange, There There
