“Whenever my environment had failed to support or nourish me, I had clutched at books...”
― Richard Wright, Black Boy
― Richard Wright, Black Boy
“I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of the hunger for life that gnaws in us all.”
― Richard Wright, Black Boy
― Richard Wright, Black Boy
“Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread.”
― Richard Wright, Native Son
