“But race is the child of racism, not the father.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

“The world of the terminally ill is the world of neither the living nor the dead. I have watched others since I watched my father, and always with a sense of their strangeness. They sit and speak, and are spoken to, and listen, and even smile, but in spirit they have already moved away from us and there is no way we can enter their shadowy no-man’s-land.”
― P.D. James

“I don't write a book so that it will be the final word; I write a book so that other books are possible, not necessarily written by me.”
― Michel Foucault

“What is grander than a country and more valuable than gold? Strength of heart.”
― Cornelius Elmore Addison, Tom Thorneval: Dream Merchant Extraordinaire
