The people who must believe they are white can never be your measuring stick. I would not have you descend into your own dream. I would have you be a conscious citizen of this terrible and beautiful world.

The pursuit of knowing was freedom to me, the right to declare your own curiosities and follow them through all manner of books. I was made for the library, not the classroom.

Protože i když příběh o tom, jak trpíme a jak se radujeme a jak můžeme triumfovat, není nikdy nový, musí být stále slyšen. Žádný jiný příběh se vyprávět nedá, je to jediné světlo, které ve vší téhle tmě máme. :,,,)

Doufá, že ta ruka, která mu hladí čelo, se nikdy nezastaví - nikdy nezemře.

How does a people survive the painful realization that not only is their history full of oppression, persecution and massacre, but their future may also offer more of the same?

Because this mess I made I made with love,

actually crying because this is the first academic (and ethnographic yay) book on afroczech identities. i feel happy and seen. and im ready to add to the research on black identities in czechia in the future!

Home is where your loved ones are, but the reverse is also true. Those you love are your sanctuary, your shelter, your country and even, when it comes to that, your exile. Wherever they go, you will follow. :,,)

Khider is a protective spirit. He is also the patron of travellers, learners and lovers - which, Grandma says, often amounts to the same thing. :,,,)

Maybe they’re not worlds apart - science and poetry.

Because people Need songs like they need bread and water. People need poetry, beauty, love! So long as the sun rises and rivers flow, there will always be weddings and celebrations and music. Even fanatics cannot change that.

I hope all the books I’ve read will save my life

To walk into the world you never asked for and choose a place where your wanting ends - which part of war do we owe this knowledge?

'Gilgamesh... says the captive. 'He wished to conquer death and so he travelled to the ends of the world - but he failed. He did not see that the only way to become immortal is to be remembered after you have gone, and the only way to be remembered is to leave behind a good story. My king, why is it that you chose to make your story such a heartless one?'

I want to take care of our planet because I need a beautiful graveyard
:,,,)

„The kiss lasted until I stopped fearing it would end and enjoyed it as a journey we’d just begun.”
:,,)

Strange to be exiled from your own sex to borders that will never be home.
😭😭😭😭

Všechny formy vykořisťování jsou si podobné. Všechny budou hledat své opodstatnění v nějakém výroku biblického rázu. Všechny formy vykořisťování jsou shodné, protože se všechny týkají téhož „objektu": člověka. Chceme-li se v rovině abstrakce zabývat strukturou tohoto či jiného vykořisťování, zastíráme hlavní, zásadní problém, jímž je navrácení člověka na jeho místo.
