Quotes Tamara Liked

R. Eric Thomas
“Perhaps the thing that is even more overflowing with possibility than a crush, is love. In whatever form it takes, from whatever context it is drawn. With a crush after all there are sort of only two outcomes when you get down to it. It will bloom or it will whither, but love, love seems to have infiinite possible beginnings, endings, permutations, subtle shifts, and seismic changes. Love, I've learned, is different every time you look at it. Love is every possible love story all at once.”

“The conversations always centered around achievement rather than overcoming. In what I would later realize was a stunning bit of narrative alchemy, my parents taught us black history lessons that weren't remarkable because of all the oppression they involved but because of the extraordinariness of the black people at their center. This would prove to be dramatically different from the rest of reality, which is, let's be honest, an oppression-fest.”
R. Eric Thomas, Here for It; Or, How to Save Your Soul in America: Essays

“All we knew was that we liked to eat and we liked to talk and we wanted to keep doing those things, preferably simultaneously, for a long time.”
R. Eric Thomas, Here for It; Or, How to Save Your Soul in America: Essays

R. Eric Thomas
“We are the internet that we bemoan; we are building this city ourselves.”
R. Eric Thomas, Here for It; Or, How to Save Your Soul in America: Essays

R. Eric Thomas
“If our religions aren't about the business of achieving justice in our time, in this world, for everyone, what are they doing?”
