Richard Wright Quotes
The Hostility Of The Whites Had Become So Deeply Implanted In My Mind And Feelings That It Had Lost Direct Connection With The Daily Environment In Which I Lived; And My Reactions To This Hostility Fed Upon Itself, Grew Or Diminished According To The News That Reached Me About The Whites, According To What I Aspired Or Hoped For.
