Flannery O'Connor, The Violent Bear It Away

Louis C.K.
“I love being white. Seriously, I really do. If you're not white, your missing out. 'Cuz this shit is thoroughly good. Let me clear this up by the way: I'm not saying white people are better. I'm saying that BEING white is clearly better. Who could even argue? If it was an option I would re-up every year! 'Oh yeah, I'll take white again. Absolutely.' Here's how great it is to be white: if I would have a time machine I could go to any time and it would be awesome when I get there! That is exclusively a white privilege! Black people can't fuck with time machines! .”
Louis C.K.

Eugene H. Peterson
“When besieged, I’m calm as a baby. When all hell breaks loose, I’m collected and cool.”
