Unsympathizer

“I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of Negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal and whose feelings are all hurt about it. Even in the helter-skelter skirmish that is my life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks on a Road

“In order to be irreplaceacle, one must always be different.”
― Coco Chanel

“Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“I know some who are constantly drunk on books as other men are drunk on whiskey.”
― H.L. Mencken
