“It's not been a horrible life, Isaac. It's just been a lonely one. But that was my own doing. Reading taught me that a man's life is his own responsibility, his own creation. Blaming others is a waster of time. No one can make you happy if you're determined to be miserable. And, for many years, I was.”
― Daniel Black, Don't Cry for Me

“After 'The Color Purple', I became something of a reader. The more I read, the more I saw myself. Knowledge is a funny thing, Issac, it informs by exposing. It shows you precisely how much you don't know. In other's stories, I noticed how similar we all are. Everyone wants the same things and everyone struggles with the same things.”

“Hurt is worse than anger, you know. Anger dwells in the head, then fades. Hurt lingers in the soul. It rearranges your feelings without your permission. It blinds you.”
― Daniel Black, Don't Cry for Me

“Everything I'd ever loved I'd destroyed. You don't know - I hope you don't know - the feeling of losing everyone you ever loved.”
