ADULTHOOD IS A S#!%SHOW
“Their daddies taught them how to keep a slave in line, passed down this brutal heirloom. Take him away from his family, whip him until all he remembers is the whip, chain him up so all he knows is chains. A term in an iron sweatbox, cooking his brains in the sun, had a way of bringing a buck around, and so did a dark cell, a room aloft in darkness, outside time.”

I’m a book sniffer. There’s nothing like the smell of fresh pages, or perfectly seasoned ones. If you know, you know, it can’t be explained.
Hard-covered books smell better than soft.
If the book is too old and in poor condition, it’ll be musty. What are you reading now? Via: MindsOfPeoplePage
“A reader lives many different lives’ James Harris said. ‘The person who doesn’t read lives but one. But if you’re happy just doing what you’re told and reading what other people think you should, then don’t let me stop you. I just find it sad.” Artist: Myles Hyman
Reading is fundamental, that’s why women and black people weren’t allowed. It fills the mind with ideas, the truth, it’s the best thing you can do. Banned books are a way of warping facts, preventing people from thinking for themselves, a way to control the masses. Reading is quite possibly the most rebellious thing you can do. That being said if the aforementioned parties weren’t allowed to read, we certainly didn’t write, yet we’re suppose to follow these religious works used to support slavery, used to degrade women. Think about that. What’s the last book you read? Do you take reading for granted? Via: Hyper Allergic
