Brené Brown
“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain. —JAMES A. BALDWIN”
Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone

James Baldwin
“It is easy to proclaim all souls equal in the sight of God; it is hard to make men equal on earth in the sight of men.”
James Baldwin

James Baldwin
“how can one respect, let alone adopt, the values of a people who do not, on any level whatever, live the way they say they do, or the way they say they should?”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

Elizabeth Bishop
“Close, close all night
the lovers keep.
They turn together
in their sleep,

Close as two pages
in a book
that read each other
in the dark.

Each knows all
the other knows,
learned by heart
from head to toes.”
Elizabeth Bishop, Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box: Uncollected Poems, Drafts, and Fragments

James Baldwin
“Every white person in this country-and I do not care what he or she says-knows one thing. They may not know, as they put, "what I want",but they know they would not like to be black here.
If they know that, then they know everything they need to know, and whatever else they say is a lie.”
James Baldwin, The Cross of Redemption: Uncollected Writings
