“The upside of being a part of a post-civil rights generation is that black folks really are more diverse. But the flash point for that diversity is caught up in Hip Hop.

Your gaze is always a radius. The circumference is ever great. In fact, the circles multiply. To be a castaway is to be caught in a harrowing ballet of circles.” MayTwoFactsMightNightBlackWhiteSeaSkyWindMoonBlueCaughtRageCirclesBalletCentreNever ChangeGeometryRadiusCastaway Author:Yann Martel
“Hollywood is designed to check the box office on Monday morning and see: "How'd we do? How much?" It's another facet of this whole culture of accumulation and consumption.
