Morgan’s Quotes

“If you have enough book space, I don't want to talk to you.”
― Terry Pratchett

“The theme of willful self-creation is especially strong in the writings of Black women.80 The fiction of authors such as Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker revolves around Black female characters who learn to invent themselves after breaking out of the confines of racist and sexist expectations. Black women’s autobiographical accounts also describe the process of self-creation, exemplified by Patricia Williams’s statement, “I am brown by my own invention.… One day I will give birth to myself, lonely but possessed.”81”
― Dorothy Roberts, Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty

“The first thing I do with a young fighter,” D’Amato said, “is explain fear. Most people don’t know much about fear. They think it’s a sign of being yellow. But fear is normal. It’s like fire. If you let it get out of control, it will destroy you and everything around you. If you can learn how to control it, you can make it work for you. Fear is just nature’s way of preparing you to fight.”7”
― W.K. Stratton, Floyd Patterson: The Fighting Life of Boxing’s Invisible Champion – The Youngest Heavyweight in History and Overlooked Civil Rights Activist
