James Baldwin
“The time has come to realize that the interracial drama acted out on the American continent has not only created a new black man, it has created a new white man, too. . .the history of the American Negro problem is not merely shameful, it is also something of an achievement. For even when the worst has been said, it must also be added that the perpetual challenge posed by this problem was always, somehow, perpetually met. . . This world is white no longer, and it will never be white again.”
James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son

Steven Pinker
“Oscar Wilde’s prophecy that “as long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.”
Steven Pinker, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined

Stephen Jay Gould
“Bless all the women of this world who nurture our heritage while too many man rush off to kill for ideals that might now be deeply and personally held, but will often be viewed as repugnant by later generations.”
Stephen Jay Gould, I Have Landed: The End of a Beginning in Natural History

James Baldwin
“You can not describe anything without betraying your point of view, your aspirations, your fears, your hopes. Everything.”
James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son

Toni Morrison
“I've traveled. All over. I've never seen anything like you. How could anything be put together like you? Do you know how beautiful you are? Have you looked at yourself?'

'I'm looking now.”
Toni Morrison, Paradise
