"This is cool. Irving is transporting me through a different world. From Selvilla to Granada in the early 19th century. Bandits roam the mountain passes and the peasants are poetic. The landscape has a hard beauty and the people a rugged grace. In Granada, and the next chapter, the Alhambra awaits. That last bastion of Islamic Spain, the stronghold of exiled Ummayyad princes; Andalusia." — Jul 12, 2012 08:27AM

“Negrophobes exist. It is not hatred of the Negro, however, that motivates them; they lack the courage for that, or they have lost it. Hate is not inborn; it has to be constantly cultivated, to be brought into being, in conflict with more or less recognized guilt complexes. Hate demands existence and he who hates has to show his hate in appropriate actions and behavior; in a sense, he has to become hate. That is why Americans have substituted discrimination for lynching. Each to his own side of the street.”
