Quotes
From WikiquoteEllis was one of those people who constantly nag others to echo their own opinions.
Living a lie the whole time — the lie that we're here to uplift our poor black brothers instead of to rob them ... it corrupts us, it corrupts us in ways you can't imagine.
Beauty is meaningless until it is shared.
It is one of the tragedies of the half-educated that they develop late, when they are already committed to some wrong way of life.
