Phil Morris’s Quotes

“If we wish to understand our own place on earth, we must seek to understand those who have gone on before us.

― Ian Mortimer, The Outcasts of Time

Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth? Once you have figured that out, you must find that story too. From there, you begin to get a clearer, yet still imperfect, picture.”
― Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing
