Daniel Handler
“I'm alone. There's a poem in that, but I don't want to write it. I don't want to be someone who spends Saturday night alone at home, writing poems about being alone.”
Daniel Handler, The Basic Eight

Maya Angelou
“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”
Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Maya Angelou
“Never let white folks know what you really think. If you’re sad, laugh. If you’re bleeding inside, dance.”
Maya Angelou, Gather Together In My Name

Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
“I don’t trust white people like you do. I obviously don’t think they are all murderers, but I think they are all racist.” “All?” I say, eyebrows raised. “It sounds wild, I know, but racism is a spectrum and they all participate in it in some way. They don’t all have white hoods or call us mean things; I know that. But racism isn’t just about that—it’s not about being nice or mean. Or good versus bad. It’s bigger than that. We’re all in this bubble being affected by the past. The moment they decided they got to be white and have all the power and we got to be Black and be at the bottom, everything changed. If we can’t talk about it honestly, and I mean really talk about it, then what’s the point? I read some Malcom X last year, and I agree with him. Some might even treat you good, like an owner might treat a pet.” “That’s wild,” I say. “Yeah, it is. I think anyone can be nice, but it’s not about being nice. You can’t escape a history like that and not be affected. Us Blacks, we start hating ourselves, and them whites start thinking they’re all better than us. Even if they aren’t thinking it constantly, it’s in there somewhere.”
Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, Ace of Spades

“But now there is a loneliness so deep it sends me foetal”
