Of Emmett Till. We do not know
The boy’s name nor the sound
Of his mother wailing. We have

Do not know the history of our-
Selves on this planet because
We do not have to know what
We believe we own.”

Nega Mezlekia
“Land was to the nomads what a deity is to the initiated: one may draw on its might, but not lay claim to it. Amma herdsmen roamed the vast steppe at will in search of a green pasture and watering hole, with little regard for man-made boundaries. They questioned why a settled society should behave any differently, why one man should toil in the service of another merely because the stronger had staked out something that had never belonged to him in the first place.”
Nega Mezlekia, The God Who Begat a Jackal: A Novel

“It's about shopping more generally. When you shop, you expand, Melba. You stretch out your hand and also your psyche to compass the thing that you desire, and then, when the moment is right, you clamp down, you squeeze around the thing! Expansion and contraction, Melba, that's shopping. It's a spasm! A special spasm. You've heard of these spasms? Not just a pleasant jolt. Jolts don't penetrate to great depths and they have no duration. A spasm is different; it's a rippling that works the fascia to keep your inner linings from drying out.”
Joanna Ruocco, Dan

Richie Norton

“Keep in mind the following: what you really value in life is ownership, not money. If ever there is a choice — more money or more responsibility — you must always opt for the latter.

50 Cent, The 50th Law

“OWNERSHIP MUST NOT STAND ON THE PILLARS OF EXCEPTIONS.”

“Run what you own like you were the President of it”
Manuel Corazzari
