“I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.”
― Langston Hughes

“You can't own a human being. You can't lose what you don't own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don't, do you? And neither does he. You're turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can't value you more than you value yourself.”
― Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon

“إن الإنسان مثله مثل الشجرة. كلما رنا إلى الأعالي و إلى النور إلا ونحت جذوره إلى التوغل في الأرض، في التحت، في العتمة و لعمق - في الشر.”
― فريدريش نيتشه, هكذا تكلم زرادشت: كتاب للجميع ولغير أحد

“ما من مصيبة إلا الجهل. فالمصيبة تثقل على قدر جهلنا مصدرها ومعناها، وتخف على قدر فهمنا معناها ومصدرها”
