I Am Aware That No Man Is

The Universe, Which Is Not Merely The Stars And The Moon And The Planets, Flowers, Grass And Trees, But Other People, Has Evolved No Terms For Your Existence, Has Made No Room For You, And If Love Will Not Swing Wide The Gates, No Other Power Will Or Can. And If One Despairs-- As Who Has Not?-- Of Human Love, God's Love Alone Is Left.

The World Is Before You, And You Need Not Take It Or Leave It As It Was When You Came In.

And Love Will Simply Have No Choice But To Go Into Battle With Space And Time, And Furthermore, To Win.

In The Invincible And Indescribable Squalor Of Harlem ... I Was Tormented. I Felt Caged, Like An Animal. I Wanted To Escape. I Felt If I Did Not Get Out I Would Slowly Strangle.

People Who Shut Their Eyes To Reality Simply Invite Their Own Destruction.
