“While contemplating the bride, and eyeing the cake of soap, he muttered between his teeth: 'Tuesday. It was not Tuesday. Was it Tuesday? Perhaps it was Tuesday. Yes, it was Tuesday.' No one has ever discovered to what this monologue referred.

“We all have enough strength to endure the misfortunes of others.”

“I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free.”

“Nature is pitiless; she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering.”

“Her mind was all disorder. The past, present, future, every thing was terrible.”

“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”
