Ralph Ellison
“I was pulled this way and that for longer than I can remember. And my problem was that I always tried to go in everyone's way but my own.

I am an invisible man.”
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

“Play the game, but don’t believe in it – that much you owe yourself … Play the game, but raise the ante, my boy. Learn how it operates, learn how you operate.”
