In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“If your buttocks burn, you know you have done wrong.”
