Jim Fergus
“It was our understanding that we were to be instructing them in the ways of the civilized world, not being made beasts of burden, but, as Helen Flight has pointed out, of what use are table manners to those without tables.”
Jim Fergus, One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd

Malcolm X
“My family was so poor we were close to eating the holes inside of doughnuts.”
Malcom X

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Put out my eyes, and I can see you still;
slam my ears to, and I can hear you yet;
and without any feet can go to you;
and tongueless, I can conjure you at will.
Break off my arms, I shall take hold of you
and grasp you with my heart as with a hand;
arrest my heart, my brain will beat as true;
and if you set this brain of mine afire,
upon my blood I then will carry you.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Poems from the Book of Hours

Marjane Satrapi
“Parler derrière le dos des autres est le ventilateur du couer.”
Marjane Satrapi, Embroideries
