“I have a lot more patience for others than I have for myself, and I'm much better at bringing out the best in others than in myself. That's just the kind of person I am. I'm the scratchy stuff on the side of the matchbox. But that's fine with me. I don't mind at all. Better to be a first-class matchbox than a second-class match.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“I wanted my own words. But the ones I use have been dragged through I don't know how many consciences.”
― Sartre, The Wall

“So the fact that I’m me and no one else is one of my greatest assets. Emotional hurt is the price a person has to pay in order to be independent.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“because white men can't
police their imagination
black men are dying”
― Claudia Rankine, Citizen: An American Lyric
