America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future. – Frederick Douglass
It is not light that we need, but fire it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. – Frederick Douglass
We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future. – Frederick Douglass
Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe. – Frederick Douglass

When you create that atmosphere of trust, its in the bag – the actors will do everything to satisfy you. – Michael Haneke
