“I wanted to tell her about my writing, but I was afraid she would think I was exaggerating my relationship to it, that I was lying. After all, I wasn't a real writer, yet I wrote every day. Though I hadn't cleaned for a while, to say that I was a maid would probably have been a more accurate way to explain who I was.”
Amina Cain, Indelicacy

“Writing was not the only thing I wanted to do, but the important thing, I thought, was that I wanted to do it more than anything else. I would write for an entire day, then do nothing for days on end. I'd look at my notebook and feel bored. After some time, however, it was my life that was boring, and I missed writing, so I would begin to write again.”
Amina Cain, Indelicacy

“It's not terrorism when white people plot organised murders in the name of an extreme ideology.”
Johny Pitts, Afropean: Notes from Black Europe

“It’s amazing how quickly people make you into wallpaper.”
Rachel Eve Moulton, Tinfoil Butterfly

“For most black people in Europe, the battle against prejudice is for life, which is why you have to pace yourself to run a marathon instead of exerting all your energy in a spring if you want to survive — you can’t be throwing beer bottles at police and telling them to fuck themselves simply for the fun of it.”
Johny Pitts, Afropean: Notes from Black Europe
