Quotes from Lillian Smith
I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.
—Lillian Smith
I learned to believe in freedom, to glow when the word democracy was used, and to practice slavery from morning to night. I learned it the way all of my Southern people learn it: by closing door after door until one's mind and heart and conscience are blocked off from each other and from reality.
—Lillian Smith
