“I want - I want - I want - was all that she could think about - but just what this real want was she did not know.”
— The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers (via thechocolatebrigade)
“In the face of brutality I was prudent. Before injustice I held my peace. I sacrificed the things in hand for the good of they hypothetical whole. I believed in the tongue instead of the fist. As an armor against oppression I taught patience and faith in the human soul I know now how wrong I was. I have been a traitor to myself and to my people. All that is not. Now is the time to act and to act quickly. Fight cunning with cunning and might with might.”
