More From Lena Horne

This rose became a bandanna, which became a house, which became infused with all passion, which became a hideaway, which became yes i would like to have dinner, which became hands, which became lands, shores, beaches, natives on the stones, staring and wild beasts in the trees, chasing the hats of lost hunters, and all this deserves a tone.

Or perhaps a widow found him and took him in: brought him an easy chair, changed his sweater every morning, shaved his face until the hair stopped growing, took him faithfully to bed with her every night, whispered sweet nothings into what was left of his ear, laughed with him over black coffee, cried with him over yellowing pictures, talked greenly about having kids of her own, began to miss him before she became sick, left him everything in her will, thought of only him as she died, always knew he was fiction but believed in him anyway.
Sweet Morning Coffee
Mrs forrester ... sat in state, pretending not to know what cakes were sent up, though she knew, and we knew, and she knew that we knew, and we knew that she knew that we knew, she had been busy all the morning making tea-bread and sponge-cakes.

I grew up in the midst of poverty but every black kid that i knew could read and write. we have to talk about the fact that we cannot educate for critical consciousness if we have a group of people who cannot access fanon, cabral, or audre lorde because they can’t read or write. how did malcolm x radicalize his consciousness? he did it through books. if you deprive working-class and poor black people of access to reading and writing, you are making them that much farther removed from being a class that can engage in revolutionary resistance.
Book Reading Writing
Our society values alert, problem-solving consciousness, and it devalues all other states of consciousness. any kind of consciousness that is not related to the production or consumption of material goods is stigmatized in our society today. of course we accept drunkenness. we allow people some brief respite from the material grind. a society that subscribes to that model is a society that is going to condemn the states of consciousness that have nothing to do with the alert problem-solving mentality.

When i had finished the book i knew that no matter what scott did, nor how he behaved, i must know it was like a sickness and be of any help i could to him and try to be a good friend. he had many good, good friends, more than anyone i knew. but i enlisted as one more, whether i could be of any use to him or not. if he could write a book as fine as the great gatsby i was sure that he could write an even better one. i did not know zelda yet, and so i did not know the terrible odds that were against him. but we were to find them out soon enough.

Tv was the boogey man when i was growing up. video games are the boogey man now. the novel was once a boogey man. books about lowborn people doing lowborn things were once considered a real assault on people's morals. maybe some day video games will be looked on as a good thing, but personally i don't see it.

Fame is always a shock to the system; there's no school to go to, there are no books to read, and when it hits you, it's a surprise. you could be working for 10, 20 years and when it finally hits you, you get knocked down.

I decided then that if the two people i loved most were safe, i could leave this world. the dead could finally have me. and iʹd fulfilled my purpose, right? to protect? iʹd done it. iʹd saved lissa, just like iʹd sworn iʹd always do. i was dying in battle. no appointment books for me.
