QUOTES, POEMS, ETC:
"Writing about the future doesn’t give me any special ability to foretell the future. But it does encourage me to use our past and present behaviors as guides to the kind of world we seem to be creating. To study history is to study humanity. And to try to foretell the future without studying history is like trying to learn to read without bothering to learn the alphabet." -
"I do think what we have to recognize is that we can mistake presence for power... Power is the ability to change the rules. Presence is not bad, but when we mistake presence for power, we can sometimes think something has happened that hasn’t actually happened." -
"A people entrapped in another people's fiction is an endangered people." - Toni Cade Bambara
“The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers.” - James Baldwin
"There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal." - Toni Morrison
