"i am black. i am the incarnation
of a complete fusion with the world,
an intuitive understanding of the
earth, an abandonment of my ego in
the heart of the cosmos.

i am truly a ray of sunlight under the earth."

--frantz fanon

"i love myself when i am laughing and then
again when i am looking mean and impressive."

--zora neale hurston
