There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.
From James A. Baldwin
The writer's greed is appalling. He wants, or seems to want, everything and practically everybody, in another sense, and at the same time, he needs no one at all.
Love him and let him love you. Do you think anything else under heaven really matters?
The only thing that white people have that black people need, or should want, is power-and no one holds power forever.
Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart; for his purity, by definition, is unassailable.
Nothing is more desirable than to be released from an affliction, but nothing is more frightening than to be divested of a crutch.
The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose.
It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.
To act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger.
The world is before you and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in.
