James Baldwin // "It's not the world that was my oppressor, because what the world does to you, if the world does it to you long enough and effectively enough, you begin to do to yourself. You become a collaborator, an accomplice of your own murderers, because you believe the same things they do... You have somehow to begin to break out of all that and try to become yourself. It's hard for anybody... Hard, because you've got to divorce yourself from the standards of that society."
