Jake’s Quotes

“You become an agent of your own existence the minute you stop blaming others for what they did to you. Those who hurt us cannot heal us. That's our job.”

“Yet freedom is never private. It will not hide for you. It will not disguise itself. It takes no refuge in safety. It's a declaration to the world of one's refusal to be bound. And that's the role of the writer-to force the reader's freedom- even when bondage is the preference.”
― Daniel Black, Isaac's Song

“I realized I didn't want to get bogged down in a system rigged against me. I don't want to use my energy reacting to white people. Sometimes we gotta do it; I understand that. But usually it's a waste of time. Our rage doesn't change America. Not fundamentally. It makes America change the rules of the game. I didn't want to play anymore.”
― Daniel Black, Isaac's Song
