Zora Neale Hurston
“Her old thoughts were going to come in handy now, but new words would have to be made and said to fit them.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

Martin Luther King Jr.
“In the days ahead we must not consider it unpatriotic to raise certain basic questions about our national character.”
Martin Luther King Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?

Zora Neale Hurston
“He looked like the love thoughts of women.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

Bob Marley
“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
Bob Marley

Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?
