Truth Quote by Colson Whitehead — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“White man trying to kill you slow every day, and sometimes trying to kill you fast. Why make it easy for him? That was one kind of work you could say no to.”

“Since when does anyone get the option to do the easiest?”

“Vomit will always be vomit even if drizzled with chocolate, sliced almonds, and a cherry on top (2 Peter 2:21-22).

The Word of God and not the word of the enemy is where we see the true identity of sin.”

The love, the heartbreak, the joy, the despair, the things I did that were good, the things I did that were shameful--if I kept them all inside, my memories of them would start to disappear. And then I would disappear.”

“The nasty little apes that call themselves human beings can do nothing except run and hide.”

“When no one you know tells the truth, you learn to see under the surface.”

“Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.”
