“I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long that they really don't think I'm human.

― James Baldwin, I Am Not Your Negro

“I know trauma uses silence as a survival mechanism.”
― Jasmine Mans, Black Girl, Call Home

Of night, the lonely, with her sightless eyes.”
― Empedocles, The Fragments of Empedocles

“Could love be giving your own solitude to another? Because that's the ultimate thing you can give of yourself.”
― Clarice Lispector, An Apprenticeship or The Book of Pleasures
