Hampton Sides
“For poverty is miserable. It is ugly, disorganized, rowdy, sick, uneducated, violent, afflicted with crime. Poverty demeans human dignity. The demanding tone, the inarticulateness, the implied violence deeply offended us. We didn’t want to see it on our sacred monumental grounds. We wanted it out of sight and out of mind.”
Hampton Sides, Hellhound on His Trail: The Stalking of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the International Hunt for His Assassin

Jeff Vandermeer
“As if purpose could solve everything, could take the outlines of what was missing and by sheer will invoke it, make it appear, bring it back to life.”
Jeff VanderMeer, Acceptance

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“One cannot, at once, claim to be superhuman and then plead mortal error.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“The point of this language of “intention” and “personal responsibility” is broad exoneration. Mistakes were made. Bodies were broken. People were enslaved. We meant well. We tried our best. “Good intention” is a hall pass through history, a sleeping pill that ensures the Dream.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Barbara Demick
“But now she couldn’t deny what was staring her plainly in the face: dogs in China ate better than doctors in North Korea.”
Barbara Demick, Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea
