More From John Donne

All the fruits of the spirit which we are to lay weight upon as evidential of grace, are summed up in charity, or christian love; because this is the sum of all grace. and the only way, therefore, in which any can know their good estate, is by discerning the exercises of this divine charity in their hearts; for without charity, let men have what gifts you please, they are nothing.
Christian Heart Exercise
My views on charity are very simple. i do not consider it a major virtue and, above all, i do not consider it a moral duty. there is nothing wrong in helping other people, if and when they are worthy of the help and you can afford to help them. i regard charity as a marginal issue. what i am fighting is the idea that charity is a moral duty and a primary virtue.
Fighting Helping Others Simple
Aside from higher considerations, charity often operates as a vastly wise and prudent principle-a great safeguard to its possessor. men have committed murder for jealousy's sake, and anger's sake, and hatred's sake, and selfishness' sake, and spiritual pride's sake; but no man that ever i heard of, ever committed a diabolical murder for sweet charity's sake. mere self-interest, then, if no better motive can be enlisted, should, especially with high-tempered men, prompt all beings to charity and philanthropy.
Wise Spiritual Sweet
Will there ever be an encyclopedia? possibly. i would say two things about the encyclopedia: firstly, i’ve always said and i stand by it, whenever i do do a printed encyclopedia i would like all the proceeds to go to charity. back in 1998 i never dreamt i personally i would be in the position that i could set up a large charitable foundation and personally do things for charity, and i’ve done other charity books already.
Book Two Would Be
In a word: charity cannot be neutral, antiseptic, indifferent, lukewarm or impartial! charity is infectious, it excites, it risks and it engages! for true charity is always unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous!
Risk Charity Indifferent
Would we hold liberty, we must have charity- charity to others, charity to ourselves, crawling up from the moist ovens of a steaming world, still carrying the passional equipment of our ferocious ancestors, emerging from black superstition amid carnage and atrocity to our perilous present.

I wanted to play roles which offered new ways of viewing black women and black people in general- and i have done that. and i have always, whether i needed to pay the rent or not, i've always turned down roles which i thought were stereotypical. and so when i look at my body of work in that respect, i am really happy. because i feel my work does say something positive and that was what i always set out to do.
