Love Expands

The more I wonder, the more I love.

The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.

As I get older, I realize that the thing I value the most is good-heartedness.

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.

Allowing freedom to others brings freedom to ourselves.

Animals can communicate quite well. And they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored

Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence.

Creation is a sustained period of bliss, even though the subject can still be very sad. Because there’s the triumph of coming through and understanding that you have, and that you did it the way only you could do it. You didn’t do it the way somebody told you to do it. You did it just the way you had to do it, and that is what makes us us.

I love my own culture. I love my African-American culture very deeply, and I know it deserves to be honored. You have to be aware that people are suffering unjustly, and given our own history we have a duty to stand for the people who are being treated like our parents and grandparents and children were treated.

it is this broken road with pitfalls and sharp turns and unexpected traverses that has brought me joy and adventure.

Propaganda is amazing, people can be led to believe anything.
