I joined the army on my seventeenth birthday, full of the romance of war after having read a lot of World War I British poetry and having seen a lot of post-World War II films.

The bird, the bee, the running child are all the same to the sliding glass door. Dec 21, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Every time you see a black romance it's over-the-top. There always has to be extreme hostility between the sexes. He has to cheat. She has to show him how independently strong she is, not just as a woman but as a black woman. Dec 21, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self in the mirror of some woman's eyes. Dec 21, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
