“School and things that painters have taught me even keep me from painting as I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to be at least paint as I wanted to and say what I wanted to when I painted as that seemed to be the only thing I could do that didn't concern anybody but myself. I found that I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn't say in any other way things that I had no words for.” WayWantWantedSchoolFoundStupidTaughtPaintingFoolShapesConcernDecidedPaintPainterColourVery Stupid Author:Georgia O'Keeffe

“Now many things are beginning to come out and it was truly a reality to me when I went to Africa, to Guinea. The little things that had been taught to me about the African people, that they were "heathens," "savages," and they were just downright stupid people. But when I got to Guinea, we were greeted by the Government of Guinea, which is Black People - and we stayed at a place that was the government building, because we were the guests of the Government.” PeopleLittlesRealityGovernmentBlackStupidBuildingTaughtLittle ThingsBlack PeopleGuestsSavagesStupid PeopleHeathenGuinea Author:Fannie Lou Hamer
