Quotes by Virginia Grise (?)

“If we believe that self-preservation is an act of political warfare, then we must not forget to ask the question: Who are we at war with? Who are we fighting?”

“An entire industry has been created around the idea of self-care without naming what is actually putting us at harm. Americans spend upwards of 7 billion dollars a year on glueten-free products but why aren't we asking the question what happened to our wheat? Our corn? Our rice?”

“Seated between a junkie and a hooker, the two women look at me and say:

What happened to you mami? You look awful.
You know it's bad when the junkies and the hookers think you look awful.

What's wrong with you?
I don't know I respond and start to cry underneath my huge sunglasses.
I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me.
Nobody seems to.”
