Creation is filled with soul-sick folks, colored and white, never knowing where they belong. They tangle everybody else up in their grief.

About This Quote

What does it matter if you’re white or black, Christian or Jew, gay or straight; what matters is that you love and you give love to others. If you can take your place in this world and be part of it like everybody else, then you’re okay. But if not, maybe we can forget about one another and live our lives separately in our own little worlds. Maybe we can forget about the color of our skin and where we came from.
