God is love, I said, but art’s the possibility of forms, and shadows are the source of identity.
Ralph Ellison Quotes
I was never more hated than when I tried to be honest... On the other hand, I’ve never been more loved and appreciated than when I tried to ‘justify’ and affirm someone’s mistaken beliefs; or when I’ve tried to give my friends the incorrect, absurd answers they wished to hear.
