"If you're playing against the Australians, you don't walk."

“There is still an assumption among many people that to be black is to be lower class. In the last fifteen to twenty years, perhaps even further back than that, there's also been an explosion of a very wealthy black class in the United States, but those people are often treated as special cases: they're athletes, entertainers.

They collide in an embrace that looks almost painful to me, slapping each otherâ€™s backs and laughing with their fists clasped between them.”
“When I walked out of the gate I knew that if I continued to hate these people I was still in prison.”
“An aesthetic movement with a revolutionary dynamism and no popular appeal should proceed quite otherwise than by public scandal, publicity stunt, noisy expulsion and excommunication.”
