Quote by John Marshall Harlan

“Sixty millions of whites are in no danger from the presence here of eight millions of blacks. The destinies of the two races, in this country, are indissolubly linked together, and the interests of both require that the common government of all shall not permit the seeds of race hate to be planted under the sanction of law.”

“The sure guaranty of the peace and security of each race is the clear, distinct, unconditional recognition by our governments, national and state, of every right that inheres in civil freedom, and of the equality before the law of all citizens of the United States, without regard to race. State enactments regulating the enjoyment of civil rights upon the basis of race, and cunningly devised to defeat legitimate results of the war, under the pretense of recognizing equality of rights, can have no other result than to render permanent peace impossible, and to keep alive a conflict of races, the continuance of which must do harm to all concerned.”

“In May 1896, the thoughtful justices of the high court, men who help to clarify national standards for everyone, determine that "repellent intimacy" is a persuasive argument. The law of quarantine is affirmed. "We think the enforced separation of the races. . .neither abridges the privileges or immunities of the colored man, deprives him of his property without due process of law, nor denies him the equal protection of the laws," writes associate justice Henry B. Brown in a 7-1 ruling. The main point, says Justice Brown, is that "legislation is powerless to eradicate racial instincts." The encirclement is complete. Race quarantine becomes the custom in all the land. White supremacy is acclaimed in habit, in thought and in law.”

“Freedom is Chaos. It is the absence of structure, logic, control and discipline. A free person is a chaotic person. I don't want to be free. I enjoy my discipline. I like control. I like having a goal. I find it soothing to work hard. Freedom scares me. There is so little definition to it I wouldn't even know where to start. I don't like freedom. It's a ball of anxiety if you ask me. When I think of free people, I imagine hippies, alcoholics, drug addicts, homeless people, fat people and unscholarly teenagers.”

“Mental health is the foundation on which the rest of our lives are built & there's little that's more important. Without your mental health it's difficult to nurture yourself & it's hard to also support those you love. Find ways to boost your mental health, experiment to find what works & doesn't work for you & see it as an ongoing process. Above all, be kind to yourself & know that to be human is to be fallible (World Mental Health day 2019)”

“Imparare vuol dire mostrarsi all'altro come uno zero che non sa nulla. E invece, quante cose che mi erano di ostacolo avevo portato con me! In cuor mio, mi ero sentita in qualche modo superiore: «Sono cose facili!», «Io ci riesco!» Che presuntuosa che ero! Quello stupido orgoglio è solo un fardello che ti ostacola. Bisogna fettarlo via, e svuotarsi completamente Se non sei completamente vuoto non può entrarti niente. «Devo cambiare attitudine e ripartire», pensai sinceramente.”
