Maya Angelou
“I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.”
Maya Angelou

Richard Pryor
“The reason people use a crucifix against vampires is because vampires are allergic to bullshit.”
Richard Pryor

Gwendolyn Brooks
“Say to them,
say to the down-keepers,
the sun-slappers,
the self-soilers,
the harmony-hushers,
"Even if you are not ready for day
it cannot always be night."
You will be right.
For that is the hard home-run.

Live not for battles won.
Live not for the-end-of-the-song.
Live in the along.”
Gwendolyn Brooks, Selected Poems

Richard Wright
“Violence is a personal necessity for the oppressed...It is not a strategy consciously devised. It is the deep, instinctive expression of a human being denied individuality.”
Richard Wright, Native Son

Gwendolyn Brooks
“When you love a man, he becomes more than a body. His physical limbs expand, and his outline recedes, vanishes. He is rich and sweet and right. He is part of the world, the atmosphere, the blue sky and the blue water”
Gwendolyn Brooks
