“If you're black, you got to look at America a little bit different. You got to look at America like the uncle who paid for you to go to college, but who molested you.”

“If you want to know who the oppressed minorities in America are, simply look at who gets their own shelf in the bookstore. A black shelf, a women's shelf, and a gay shelf.”

“Maybe that's what living in America does to you: it spreads you into far distances until you're just little bits rolling apart.”

“It looks like you two never really got into the eye of the storm. You were more like… the cows who got tossed around on the outskirts.”

“You got a God. Don't make no difference if you don' know what he looks like.”

“In America, it's where you end up that matters, not how you get there. As long as you get there, no one asks questions. You don't ask. You never ask. And if someone does ask how you got there? It's usually a harmless person who never got anything, never got out, died paying rent as he waited for God to deliver him.”
