Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman

It’s strange—hope can make you forget so much, so quickly. That’s why hoping is so dangerous.

“Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them with your favorite colors.”

“If we- and now I mean the relatively conscious whites and the relatively conscious blacks, who must, like lovers, insist on, or create, the consciousness of the others- do not falter in our duty now, we may be able, handful that we are, to end the racial nightmare, and achieve our country, and change the history of the world”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

“History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history. If we pretend otherwise, we are literally criminals.

I attest to this: the world is not white; it never was white, cannot be white. White is a metaphor for power, and that is simply a way of describing Chase Manhattan Bank.”
― James Baldwin, I Am Not Your Negro

“The universe, which is not merely the stars and the moon and the planets, flowers, grass and trees, but other people, has evolved no terms for your existence, has made no room for you, and if love will not swing wide the gates, no other power will or can. And if one despairs-- as who has not?-- of human love, God's love alone is left.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

“سنصعد هذا الجبل
متعبين تماما
و حولي و حولك يأسان
يأسي و يأسك
رعبي و رعبك
يا صاحبي

نحن لسنا جبانين
أو بطلين
ولكننا ولدان بسيطان
مثل مكاتيب فلاحة غربوها
بسيطان
مثل نعاس الرعاة ومثل العطش
بسيطان
كالعائدين من الحقل للبيت
كالعائدين من الويل للبيت
نحن بسيطان
يا ليت قصتنا مثلنا

الطريق إلى السهل هذا الجبل
الطريق إلى الأهل هذا الجبل
كل ما تشتهى ، كل ما أشتهى
يبدأ الآن أو ينتهى
و الأمل ذروة اليأس يا صاحبى
توجع قليلا
توجع كثيرا
توجع
فإن الأمل ذاته موجع حين لا يتبق سواه
سنصعد هذا الجبل !”
― مريد البرغوثي
