"A 'white' kid that asks too many questions is called 'curious.' A 'black' kid that asks too many questions is called 'forward.'"
"Race relations never improve in war time; they always worsen. And it is when the boys come home the Ku Klux Klans are organized. I believe with George Schuyler that the only really feasible way to improve the general situation of the American Negro is to convince more and more whites that he is, as men go in this world, a decent fellow, and that amicable living with him is not only possible but desirable. Every threat of mass political pressure, every appeal to political mountebanks, only alarms the white brother, and so postpones the day of reasonable justice."
"She looked out and saw a tall and comely woman beckoning to her. Susannah's first look at Mia in the flesh astounded her, because the chap's mother was *white.* Apparently Odetta-that-was now had a Caucasian side to her personality and how that must frost Detta Walker's racially sensitive butt!"
"It's official, Arnold said he will enter the race for governor. At least that's what everybody thinks he said."
"I think the most overused words in our vocabulary in the South are black and white."

"Times of my life, brief periods without music, have completely felt dangerously over the edge."
"Just the type of music that was around at the same time as I was writing. Some of it was wicked, definitely. But there was just one direction which I thought could be pushed that no one was pushing."
"I'm not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That's nothing to do with me."
"Because, when I'm making music, I don't think about anything, you know? All I think about is what I want to hear. So that for me is what I want - I want my head to be constantly being rearranged."
"I'd say that it's important for music to be there that gives you a challenge, that rearranges things in your head."
"Doing something like that, quite radically changing your approach to sound in one go, could leave you high and dry. It's happened before where people have changed direction and then everyone's stopped liking their music."
