If we could read the secret histories of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering to disarm all hostility.

“It goes a long way back some twenty years. All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naive. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.”
- Ralph Ellison

“And I’ve heard about a foreign land, about His Son and His great big Dad and I’m making my plans to be there. They say it’s a beautiful place, full of big wide open space and I’m making my plans to be there.”
