Quotes

"Struggle is strengthening. Battling with evil gives us the power to battle evil even more."; "I find, in being black, a thing of beauty: a joy; a strength; a secret cup of gladness."; "Any form of art is a form of power; it has impact, it can affect change - it can not only move us, it makes us move."
