I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.

I have fallen in love with the imagination. And if you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere, and it can do anything.

I made my first white women friends in college; they loved me and were loyal to our friendship, but I understood, as they did, that they were white women and that whiteness mattered.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
