Flesh

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, racism
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Racism comes in many different forms. Sometimes it’s subtle, and sometimes it’s overt. Sometimes it’s violent, and sometimes it’s harmless, but it’s definitely here. It’s something that I think we’re all guilty of, and we just have to make sure that we deal with our own personal racism in the right way.”

—Jordan Peele, Esquire, March 1, 2017

Identity

Posted by PJ under identity, meaning, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

The world does not deliver meaning to you. You have to make it meaningful…and decide what you want and need and must do. It’s a tough, unimaginably lonely, and complicated way to be in the world. But that’s the deal: you have to live; you can’t live by slogans, dead ideas, clichés, or national flags. Finding an identity is easy. It’s the easy way out.

—Zadie Smith, On Beauty
