“Adventure is not outside man; it is within.”
― George Eliot

“[I] would argue that native-born blacks are so vastly less "African" than actual Africans that calling ourselves 'African American' is not only illogical but almost disrespectful to African immigrants. Here are people who were born in Africa, speak African languages, eat African food, dance in African ways, remember African stories, and will spiritually always be a part of Africa -and we stand up and insist that we, too, are 'African' because Jesse Jackson said so?”
― John McWhorter

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
― Albert Camus

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.”
― Maya Angelou
