Nina Simone
“You use up everything you've got trying to give everybody what they want.”
Nina Simone, The Analog Sea Review: Number Two

Bessie Head
“once you make yourself a freak and special any bastard starts to use you. That's half of the fierce fight in Africa'

— Elizabeth”
Bessie Head, A Question of Power

Octavia E. Butler
“I mean, that guy who wants to be President, that Jarret, he would call you all heathens or pagans or something."

Indeed, he would. “Yes,” I said. “He does seem to enjoy calling people things like that. Once he’s made everyone who isn’t like him sound evil, then he can blame them for problems he knows they didn’t cause. That’s easier than trying to fix the problems.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

Zora Neale Hurston
“Once, when they used to set their mouths in what they thought was the Boston Crimp, and ask me about the differences between the ordinary Negro and “the better-thinking Negro”, I used to show my irritation by saying I did not know who the better-thinking Negro was. I knew who the think-they-are-better Negroes were, but who were the better thinkers was another matter.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks on a Road

Bertolt Brecht
“An aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom , but to set a limit on infinite error.
Life of Galileo Quoted in The Perfectionists”
Bertold Breht
