Quote by Lord Burleigh

Don't borrow money from a neighbor or a friend, but of a stranger where, paying for it you shall hear of it no more.

Summary

This quote advises against borrowing money from those close to you, such as neighbors or friends. Instead, it suggests borrowing from a stranger, as once you repay the loan, they are unlikely to bring it up again or hold it against you. The implication is that borrowing from someone with no personal connection minimizes the risk of hurting a relationship or enduring unnecessary reminders or conflicts stemming from the borrowed money.

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words.

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.
