Lorraine Hansberry
“Baby, you could be Jesus in drag but if you're brown they're sure you're selling.”
Lorraine Hansberry, To Be Young, Gifted, and Black: An Informal Autobiography

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

Lee Durkee
“I've done everything from helping old people to pee to taking out their garbage to chasing their escaped pets. We are the poor man's ambulance, and we are also, sad to say, the poor man's priest, our cab the confessional in which people litmus-test their wildest fears and prejudices.”
Lee Durkee, The Last Taxi Driver

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
