After two years at UCLA,
I decided to leave.
I was convinced that no amount of education
would help a black man get a job.
Everything has its wonders,
even darkness and silence,
and I learn,
whatever state I may be in,
therein to be content.
The meeting of two personalities is like
the contact of two chemical substances:
if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
If you're not making mistakes,
then you're not doing anything.
I'm positive
that a doer makes mistakes
Those who cannot work
with their hearts
achieve but a hollow,
half
hearted success that
breeds bitterness all around.
You spend your whole lifetime in your occupation,
actually making life clever,
easy and convenient for white people.
But when you have to get transportation home,
you are denied an equal accommodation.
Our existence was for the white man's comfort and well being;
we had to accept being deprived of just being human.
