Quotes

  • She stood at the gate, waiting; behind her the swamp, in front of her Colored Town, beyond it, all Maxwell. Tall and slim and white in the dusk, the girl stood there, hands on the picket gate.
  • Segregation is evil; there is no pattern of life which can dehumanize men as can the way of segregation.
  • The human heart dares not stay away too long from that which hurt it most. There is a return journey to anguish that few of us are released from making.
