“I’m a strong Christian but I have nothing against an orgasm. The thing is I don’t want to live an orgiastic life… I don’t want to just hook up to an orgasm machine and have orgasms the rest of my life - I want conversation - I want some breaks - I want to be able to love - I want to be able to fight for justice and so forth.”

"Without the presence of black people in America, European-Americans would not be “white”— they would be Irish, Italians, Poles, Welsh, and others engaged in class, ethnic, and gender struggles over resources and identity."

Cornel West, Race Matters (via ronniebaby101)

"To be human is to suffer, shudder, and struggle courageously in the face of inevitable death. To think deeply and live wisely as a human being is to meditate on and prepare for death. The quest for human wisdom requires us to learn how to die—penultimately in the daily death of bad habits and cruel view points and ultimately in the demise of our earthly and temporal bodies."

Cornel West, The Cornel West Reader, xvi  (via modestproposals)
