God created black people and black people created style.

George C. Wolfe

I'm not what I was ten years ago or ten minutes ago. I'm all of that and then some.

George C. Wolfe

N' it came to pass that a messenger was called
Who came to believe that the message was him
Yes, he of diamond tooth n' flashy threads; Yes, he who drinks from the vine of syncopation
But denies the black soil from which
this rhythm was born.

George C. Wolfe

I have no history, I have no past. I can't. It's too much. It's much too much. I must be able to smile on cue and watch the news with an impersonal eye. I have no stake in the madness. Being Black is too emotionally taxing, therefore I will be Black only on weekends and holidays.

George C. Wolfe

I pride myself on being available to as many people's stories as I possibly can.
