William James
“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else will affect its successful outcome”
William James

Maya Angelou
“Maybe the cops have got him."

The knowledge of what police do to black men rose wraithlike before my eyes.”
Maya Angelou, The Heart of a Woman

Maya Angelou
“Black orators, more eloquent than Genet, had informed white Americans for three centuries that our living conditions were intolerable. David Walker in 1830 and Frederick Douglass in 1850 had revealed the anguish and pain of life for blacks in the United States. Martin Delaney and Harriet Tubman, Marcus Garvey and Dr. DuBois, and Martin King and Malcolm X had explained with anger, passion and persuasion that we were living precariously on the ledge of life, and that if we fell, the entire structure, which had prohibited us living room, might crumble as well.

So in 1960, white Americans should have known all they needed to know about black Americans.”
Maya Angelou, The Heart of a Woman

William James
“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”
William James

William James
“For practical life at any rate, the CHANCE of salvation is enough. No fact in human nature is more characteristic than its willingness to live on a chance. The existence of the chance makes the difference. . .between a life of which the keynote is resignation and a life of which the keynote is hope.”
William James
