“Getting you to lose your hope the biggest weapon they gots. So our best weapon is to hold on to hope, however we can.”

“If enough people put their drop of water in the same place, then we can make a flower bloom . . . right in the middle of the desert.”

“The Sower casts his seeds wherever he goes. Mos’ of the seeds ain’t gonna take root and blossom—but some will. You a sower today, baby. You cast seeds of knowledge to those chil’ren. You ain’t gonna know how or where or if they gonna blossom, but you did God’s work today—you sowed some seeds.”
