― Oliver W. Harrington, Why I Left America and Other Essays

“And what was the cost of this Jim Crow? Not merely that the precious words "America" and "freedom" became suspect in the eyes of the world, but more than that. It cost us lives. Lives of white men, of Frenchmen, Russians and Chinese-because there were many battles in this war when replacements were needed. But the American rule of war was "No Negroes allowed on the front lines" until the 92d finally got there.
I listened to the Axis radio. Tokyo Rose said, and she quoted American sources, that Negroes were good enough to serve in the American Army, but they weren't good enough to pitch in the American Big League baseball. And they broadcast this not only to our own troops but also to the billion and a half colored peoples of the earth.”

“With you, I, an American Negro, am deeply concerned about liberty of a man in Yugoslavia and about the rights of Jews in Europe. We care that a Chinese peasant shall have the right to till his land free from fear and want. But I ask you this-an honest question-why is there talk of Spain and Yugoslavia, of Palestine and Greece but no talk of Aiken County, South Carolina. Why so little of Isaac Woodard, a veteran whose eyes were gouged out by a policeman's club? Why do we sweep the burning fact of discrimination against 15,000,000 citizens under the carpets of America?
There are 15,000,000 Negro Americans who do not believe you, ladies and gentlemen, when you say, "justice." We have reasons to believe you mean justice for whites only.”

― Shari J. Ryan, The Doctor's Daughter

“Your life is not dependent upon anyone else¡¯s. You don¡¯t know what the future holds¡ªnone of us do, but I believe it holds more than what we are experiencing now. Hold on, dear. Just hold on. Please.”

“How is beauty ever to be seen through a tarnished lens?”
― Shari J. Ryan, The Doctor's Daughter

“I can¡¯t understand why so many of them seem to be in one place at the same time, but I wonder if a man¡¯s final thought is that they don¡¯t want to be alone when they take their last breath.”

“History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days. What is the worth of all this? The only guide to a man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield, because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations; but with this shield, however the fates may play, we march always in the ranks of honour.”
― Winston Churchill

“For me, forgiveness is about personal healing.”

― Suzanne Kelman, Garden of Secrets

“Far off, palm trees swayed in the bay, illuminated by shafts of silvery light from a ripened moon. A breeze rippled the water's surface, disappearing into a shimmery puddle that skimmed the top of the beach. As the water breathed out frothy waves, it nudged at the sand gently. It appeared to be trying not to wake it.”
― Suzanne Kelman, When the Nightingale Sings
