“People are not, for example, terribly anxious to be equal (equal, after all, to what and to whom?) but they love the idea of being superior.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

“Anybody can get worked up, if they have the intention. It's peacefulness that is hard to come by on purpose.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, Pigs in Heaven

“It is not too much to say that whoever wishes to become a truly moral human being ... must first divorce himself from all the prohibitions, crimes, and hypocrisies of the Christian church. If the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of Him.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

“This is what divorce is: taking things you no longer want from people you no longer love.”
― Zadie Smith, White Teeth
