Generational oppression begins when what is meant to be transferred to one offspring has been taken over by reason of oppression.

To break yourself loose from the dominion, ruler-ship and manipulation of the devil, you have to embrace light (knowledge).

The only reason for your intimidation by the devil, and your being afraid of him, or what he can do is because you are living in ignorance (darkness) which is his territory.

As long as you are ready to pay this price for living in the light (knowledge) the darkness (ignorance) becomes a servant to you.

We can choose to live under the rulership of God or under the rulership of the devil.

When you live in darkness, you live under the rulership of the devil.

Every risk that you take in order for you to come into significance is the greatest kind of risk to take.

Go all the way and let your soul be in what you are doing and there will be no limitations.

Finding meaning for life is simply coming into significance because you have been able to accomplish and fulfill your purpose.

When you know that you know to the extent of committing your life to a just cause, then nothing will be able to stop you.

If you have committed all things to impacting a life at a time, or impacting a community or society, then welcome to a life of significance.

I came from across the ocean and through the wilderness and landed here and found you hiding behind a tapestry. My fate was sealed at the sight of your stockinged feet.~Viktor von Strassenberg

A heavy guilt rests upon us for what the whites of all nations have done to the colored peoples. When we do good to them, it is not benevolence--it is atonement.

There's less of a connection for a lot of people between the technical decisions we make and the ethical ramifications we are responsible for.

And takin' a bath in the creek. That's the stuff that really made it worthwhile. Anybody can stay in a motel.

All birds need to fly are the right-shaped wings, the right pressure and the right angle.

I like what Wallace Stevens said: "Poetry must almost successfully resist intelligence." I just change the word "poetry" to "my photographs".

I want order and taste. A well displayed meal is enhanced one hundred per cent in my eyes.

I was a married woman and I had a baby. I would have adored it, but I just couldn't do it because I'm a lady.

You should therefore say: alone in one's boat, alone with one's care, alone with one's despair, which one is craven enough to want rather to keep than submit to the pain of being healed.
