“There is really nothing more to say - except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.”
― Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

“Now I see why reading was illegal for black people during slavery. I discover that I think in words. The more words I know, the more things I can think about....Reading was illegal because if you limit someone's vocab, you limit their thoughts. They can't even think of freedom because they don't have the language to.”
― M.K. Asante, Buck: A Memoir
