None of us seem to think that we should draw a line under what would be a satisfactory amount of wealth.

Time is the element that controls the consciousness, the very being of the people.

I know that the fantastic amount of profit that people want to make on anything is damaging. And that none of us seem able to resist it.

I like cooking, but I think someone else ought to do the dishes.

"Race." I really can't understand it as anything other than something people say. The people who have said that you and I are both "black" and therefore deserve a certain kind of interaction with the world, they make race. I can't take them seriously.

Once you cease to be a master, once you throw off your master's yoke, you are no longer human rubbish, you are a human being, and all the things that adds up to. So, too, with the slaves. Once they are no longer slaves, once they are free, they are no longer noble and exalted; they are just human beings.

I suppose you could say I love outlaw American culture.
