John Howard Griffin Quotes

Forgetting Myself For A Moment, I Stopped To Study The Menu That Was Elegantly Exposed In A Show Window. I Read, Realizing That A Few Days Earlier I Could Have Gone In And Ordered Anything On The Menu. But Now, Though I Was The Same Person With The Same Appetite, The Same Appreciation And Even The Same Wallet, No Power On Earth Could Get Me Inside This Place For A Meal. I Recalled Hearing Some Negro Say, "You Can Live Here All Your Life, But You'll Never Get Inside One Of The Great Restaurants Except As A Kitchen Boy." The Negro Often Dreams Of Things Separated From Him Only By A Door, Knowing That He Is Forever Cut Off From Experiencing Them.
