Richard Wright Quote

Anything seemed possible, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be possible…Because I had no power to make things happen outside of me in the objective world, I made things happen within. Because my environment was bare and bleak, I endowed it with unlimited potentialities, redeemed it for the sake of my own hungry and cloudy yearning.

Black Boy (1945)

Anything seemed possible, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be possible…Because I had no power to make things happen outside of me...

Anything seemed possible, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be possible…Because I had no power to make things happen outside of me...

Anything seemed possible, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be possible…Because I had no power to make things happen outside of me...
