Literature Lessons

"'...My ass is tough and quarters is scarce." (Black Boy, Richard Wright).

In this quote, Wright is relating the story of a coworker who puts on an embarassing and masochistic act to get a quarter for lunch. The show involves bending over to pick up the quarter so the white man can kick the guy in the butt.

I feel like it's my personal motto.
