Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does... - James Baldwin

"Know from whence you came. If you know whence you came, there are absolutely no limitations to where you can go."

"It is very nearly impossible to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind."

"Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."

"Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them."

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read."
