” ‘Good intention’ is a hall pass through history, a sleeping pill that ensures the Dream.” Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between The World And Me
I love reading them, so now I’m joining the #SundaySentence party started by David Abrams over at the Quivering Pen and on Twitter. It’s not a review. It’s not a story. It’s just one sentence I read this week, presented “out of context and without commentary.
This week’s Sunday Sentence is from Ta-Nehisi Coates’ thoughtful and thought-provoking missive to his son, “Between The World And Me.” I’ve wanted to read it for a long time. Now that I have, I know I need to read it again. And again.
