Eldridge Cleaver

You don't have to teach people how to be human. You have to teach them how to stop being inhuman.

I know that sometimes people fake on each other out of genuine motives to hold onto the object of their tenderest feelings. They see themselves as so inadequate that they feel forced to wear a mask in order to continuously impress the other. I do not want to "hold" you, I want you to "stay" out of your own need for me.

The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.
