Ta-Nehisi Coates
“White America” is a syndicate arrayed to protect its exclusive power to dominate and control our bodies. Sometimes this power is direct (lynching), and sometimes it is insidious (redlining). But however it appears, the power of domination and exclusion is central to the belief in being white, and without it, “white people” would cease to exist for want of reasons.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Jean Rhys
“There is always another side, always.”
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea

Zora Neale Hurston
“So she sat on the porch and watched the moon rise. Soon its amber fluid was drenching the earth, and quenching the thirst of the day.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

Brian Morton
“What you are is a complicated girl with simple needs. You need your books and time to read, and you need a few friends and you need someone-not to take care of you, but to care for you. If you have all those things, you'll always be alright.”
Brian Morton, Breakable You

Zora Neale Hurston
“He looked like the love thoughts of women.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God
