141 " I feel. Maybe I feel too much. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But I also know how to think. "
― Benjamin Alire Sáenz , Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World (Aristotle and Dante, #2)
142 " It’s not such a good thing to feel if you don’t know how to think. So, my question is why do so many White people hate Black people when they’re the ones that brought them here in chains? "
143 " ‘A man who loves another man does not matter because he is not a man—and his paintings and his poems and whatever he thinks or says or feels do not matter. That is what people believe. But those are lies, and I do not believe any of those lies. So I became an artist and a poet so I could paint and write the things that mattered—even if they only mattered to me. And that is the only thing that matters. "
144 " we were singing the song of silence. Sometimes silence was the only song worth singing. "
