"Every year, white people add 100 years to how long ago slavery was. I've heard educated white people say, 'Slavery was 400 years ago!' No it wasn't. It was 140 years ago. That's two 70 year old ladies living and dying back to back. That's how recently you could buy a guy. And it's not like slavery ended and then everything has been amazing, and it's just been parades and presents ever since."

As a whole part of 'psychological education' it needs to be remembered that a neurosis can be valuable;
also that 'adjustment' to a sick and insane environment is of itself not "health" but sickness and insanity.
--James Agee

Bit of a long one:
"It is customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the eclipse of religion in modern society. It would be more honest to blame religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid. When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion -its message becomes meaningless."
-Abraham Joshua Heschel (The first paragraph of his book "God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism").

"It sometimes takes courage to see injustice and then stand up and denounce it. Gallantry requires doing so without ever becoming bitter; gallantry requires humor and honor."
