Book cover for I'm Thinking of Ending Things
‘The meaning of my existence is that life has addressed a question to me. Or, conversely, I myself am a question which is addressed to the world, and I must communicate my answer, for otherwise I am dependent upon the world’s answer.’ ”

Michelle Obama
“I didn't want them ever to believe that life began when the man of the house arrived home. We didn't wait for Dad. It was his job now to catch up with us.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Mikki Kendall
“One of the biggest issues with mainstream feminist writing has been the way the idea of what constitutes a feminist issue is framed. We rarely talk about basic needs as a feminist issue. Food insecurity and access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. Instead of a framework that focuses on helping women get basic needs met, all too often the focus is not on survival but on increasing privilege. For a movement that is meant to represent all women, it often centers on those who already have most of their needs met.”
Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

Carmen Maria Machado
“Abusers do not need to be, and rarely are, cackling maniacs. They just need to want something and not care how they get it.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Mikki Kendall
“Ignoring the treatment of the most marginalized women doesn't set a standard that can protect any woman.”
Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

“In fact I need you to know it was all true. The friendly guy who helps you move and assists senior citizens in the pool is the same guy who assaulted me. One person can be capable of both. Society often fails to wrap its head around the fact that these truths often coexist, they are not mutually exclusive. Bad qualities can hide inside a good person. That's the terrifying part.”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name
