Octavia E. Butler
“Leave your sinful past behind, and become one of us. Help us to make America great again.” He”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

“Through love, tribes have been intermixing colors to reveal a new rainbow world. And as more time passes, this racial and cultural blending will make it harder for humans to side with one race, nation or religion over another.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Daniel J. Boorstin
“Toynbee offers his own explanation of how and why societies survive and prosper. It is the leadership of "creative minorities" that keeps societies alive and flourishing. But when the "creative" minority becomes a "dominant" minority, imposing its will by force and oppression, then poletariats (internal and external) are created and the society disintegrates. Though fervent and profuse with the data of his "English empiricism," Toynbee still developed his own mystique to replace "destiny." The real progress of a civilization consists in what Toynbee calls "etherialization"-"an overcoming of material obstacles which releases the energy of the society to make responses to challenges which henceforth are internal rather than external, spiritual rather than material.”
Daniel J. Boorstin, The Seekers: The Story of Man's Continuing Quest to Understand His World

Octavia E. Butler
“All that you touch, You Change. All that you Change, Changes you. The only lasting truth Is Change. God”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

Octavia E. Butler
“Why is the universe? To shape God. Why is God? To shape the universe. I can’t get rid of it. I’ve tried to change it or dump it, but I can’t. I cannot. It feels like the truest thing I’ve ever written. It’s as mysterious and as obvious as any other explanation of God or the universe that I’ve ever read, except that to me the others feel inadequate, at best.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower
