Carla’s Quotes

“Making the nation safe for white people could be more easily accomplished with the help of a whitewashed tale of its origins.”
― Jabari Asim, The N Word: Who Can Say It, Who Shouldn't, and Why

tags: african-american-authors, nonfiction, race-and-racism-in-america

“Summers with Rene began with a cigarette in one side of her mouth and a squinting of her eyes as she thought . . . . Shortly, she would make her pronouncement and it would seem magical no matter how often the words were said. "It's a beach day," blessed the day. The rest was understood. No more needed to be said. I knew that she knew. She had the gift to read what would come from the skies as surely as my mother could see births and betrayals in the cards.”
― Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me

“I don’t say it, but sometimes I feel like that’s exactly what he’s doing to me—breaking me apart, putting me back together as someone new.”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

“the concept of the halakhah31 that man must act not only according to general principles of justice, truth, and love, but that every act of life be “sanctified,” becoming imbued with a religious spirit. “Right action” refers to everything: to the prayer in the morning, to the benediction over food, to the sight of the ocean and of the first flower of the season, to helping the poor, to visiting the sick, to not making a man ashamed in the presence of others.”
― Erich Fromm, You Shall Be as Gods: A Radical Interpretation of the Old Testament and Its Tradition
