Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
“They were all humans, and yet they had completely different ideas about what humanity meant.”
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Chain-Gang All-Stars

Percival Everett
“At that moment the power of reading made itself clear and real to me. If I could see the words, then no one could control them or what I got from them. They couldn’t even know if I was merely seeing them or reading them, sounding them out or comprehending them. It was a completely private affair and completely free and, therefore, completely subversive.”
Percival Everett, James

Percival Everett
“I hated the world that wouldn’t let me apply justice without the certain retaliation of injustice.”
Percival Everett, James

Percival Everett
“There is no God, child. There’s religion but there’s no God of theirs. Their religion tells that we will get our reward in the end. However, it apparently doesn’t say anything about their punishment. But when we’re around them, we believe in God. Oh, Lawdy Lawd, we’s be believin’. Religion is just a controlling tool they employ and adhere to when convenient.”
Percival Everett, James

Percival Everett
“I saw the surface of her, merely the outer shell, and realized that she was mere surface all the way to her core.”
Percival Everett, James
