Racist ideas make people of color think less of themselves, which makes them more vulnerable to racist ideas. Racist ideas make White people think more of themselves, which further attracts them to racist ideas.
“Pour vaincre ma rancœur, je pense à la destinée humaine. Chaque vie recèle une parcelle d’héroïsme, un héroïsme obscur fait d’abdications, de renoncements et d’acquiescements, sous le fouet impitoyable de la fatalité. Je pense aux aveugles du monde entier qui se meuvent dans le noir. Je pense aux paralytiques du monde entier qui se traînent. Je pense aux lépreux du monde entier que leur mal ampute.”

“Leadership in this environment is categorically humbling because it is virtually impossible for an individual to accumulate enough knowledge to figure out all of the answers. Interdependence and constant change become a way of life in which humility in the face of this complexity has become a critical survival skill.”

“L’air marin nous incitait à la bonne humeur. Le plaisir que nous goûtions et qui fêtait tous nos sens, enivrait sainement, aussi bien le riche que le pauvre. Notre communion, avec la nature profonde, insondable et illimitée, désintoxiquait notre âme.

He has to have a frame of orientation which permits him to organize a consistent picture of the world as a condition for consistent actions. He has to fight not only against the dangers of dying, starving, and being hurt, but also against another danger which is specifically human: that of becoming insane. In other words, he has to protect himself not only against the danger of losing his life but also against the danger of losing his mind.”
