All of this is common to black people. And all of this is old for black people. No one is held responsible.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

“If you have a better idea, if your plan makes more sense, if you have a vision, then put down your laundry and scream a little bit. Throw your hat into the ring, and never let professionals or their uniforms prevent you from telling anyone where to point their hose.”

“The world's most beautiful colors are not seen by the eyes, but by the soul.”
