“I wanted to share with Black Americans the beautiful and empowering aspects of Africa.”
Maria Nhambu, America's Daughter

Irène Némirovsky
“Madame Péricand thought reproachfully. She was one of those middle-class women who generally trust the lower classes. “They’re not so bad if you know how to deal with them,â€� she would say in the same condescending and slightly sad tone she used to talk of a caged animal. She was proud that she kept her servants for a long time. She insisted on looking after them when they were ill.”
Irène Némirovsky, Suite Française

Eugene O'Neill
“EDMUND: It was a great mistake, my being born a man, I would have been much more successful as a sea gull or a fish. As it is, I will always be a stranger who never feels at home, who does not really want and is not really wanted, who can never belong, who must always be a little in love with death!”
Eugene O'Neill, Long Day’s Journey into Night

Richard Wright
“Whether he’ll follow some gaudy, hysterical leader who’ll promise rashly to fill the void in him, or whether he’ll come to an understanding with the millions of his kindred fellow workers under trade-union or revolutionary guidance depends upon the future drift of events in America. But,”
Richard Wright, Native Son

Yvonne Korshak
“On the Acropolis, he’d thought she’d seen too much sun for a woman but in the courtyard, under the moon, her face, neck, and arms were as pale as the moon goddess. Allowing himself to imagine it was the moon goddess leading him upward was a way of climbing to the second story.”
Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece
