“- I’ve never been so sick of RACE in my life.

Every group with its rights and grievances, its mathematically precise litany of what has been denied, what should have been granted long ago, what must be restored and redressed. Even everyday WASPS compete now. Because their sense of being dispossessed, displaced, bullied, has in an amazingly short time become as acute, as outraged, as righteous as that of the groups they managed and mangled for so long.

- This is my dream. Eradicate them all. Then fix your hair, and put your hands in your muff as your heels go clip clip clip across the pavement.

― Margo Jefferson, Negroland

“The truth will not only “make us free” but it is itself free. We all come in fact to know the same truth, otherwise we could not communicate at all with one another.

― James V. Schall, A Student's Guide to Liberal Learning
