Victor LaValle
“Unsupervised reading is a blessing for a certain kind of child”
Victor LaValle, The Changeling

Amy Jo Burns
“She didn't know that the worst thing about a man wasn't his malice. It was his kindness, which he used in order to get what he wanted.”
Amy Jo Burns, Shiner

“The problem is everyone, even Black people, believes that Black poverty is the worst poverty in the world, and Black urban poverty, forget it, and all urban Blackness always scans as poverty, which means people only love us as a fetish. No one is sentimental about poor Black people unless they're wise and country and you could put a photograph of them on a porch with a quilt behind them in a museum.”
Danielle Evans, The Office of Historical Corrections: A Novella and Stories

Daisaku Ikeda
“1. Become people who seek the truth, create value and possess wisdom and enthusiasm. 2. Do not cause trouble to others, and always take responsibility for your own actions. 3. Be considerate and polite, reject violence and value trustworthiness and cooperation. 4. Boldly speak out for your beliefs and act courageously for the sake of truth and justice. 5. Cultivate an enterprising spirit and become respectable leaders of Japan and the world.”
Daisaku Ikeda, The New Human Revolution - Volume 12

Jacqueline Harpman
“There's no continuity and the world I have come from is utterly foreign to me. I haven't heard its music, I haven't seen its painting, I haven't read its books... I know only the stony plain, wandering, and the gradual loss of hope. I am the sterile offspring of a race about which I know nothing, not even whether it has become extinct. Perhaps, somewhere, humanity is flourishing under the stars, unaware that a daughter of its blood is ending her days in silence. There is nothing we can do about it.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men
