James McBride Quotes

My Siblings Had Already Instilled The Notion Of Black Pride In Me. I Would Have Preferred That Mommy Were Black. Now, As A Grown Man, I Feel Privileged To Have Come From Two Worlds. My View Of The World Is Not Merely That Of A Black Man But That Of A Black Man With Something Of A Jewish Soul. I Don't Consider Myself Jewish, But When I Look At Holocaust Photographs Of Jewish Women Whose Children Have Been Wrenched From Them By Nazi Soldiers, The Women Look Like My Own Mother And I Think To Myself, There But For The Grace Of God Goes My Own Mother - And By Extension, Myself.
