Alain Mabanckou
“about as helpful as make-up to a leper”
Alain Mabanckou, Letter to Jimmy

Colson Whitehead
“On the wall at Elizabeth's office they had a map of the United States and the Caribbean with pins and red marker to indicate the cities and towns and routes that Black Star promoted. Stay on the path and you'll be safe, eat in peace, sleep in peace, breath in peace and beware. Work together and you can subvert their evil order. It was a map if the black nation inside the white world, part of the bigger thing but its own self, independent, with its own constitution. If we did not help one another we'd be lost out there.”
Colson Whitehead, Harlem Shuffle

Jordan Harper
“Vertigo is the fight in your mind between the part that wants to save you and the part that wants to fall.”
Jordan Harper, The Last King of California

Joe Strummer
“If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they'd send a limousine anyway.”
Joe Strummer, The Clash Anthology
