Jude Ellison S. Doyle
“As it turned out, nearly everything strange and disquieting about Trump – his punitive response to even mile criticism, his viscerally personal insults disguised as ‘jokes,’ his willingness to spread wild rumors about his targets in order to discredit or shame them, his inability to stop lashing out or degrading certain women years after they’d left his life – was also a commonly reported behavior of domestic abusers.
Sady Doyle, “The Pathology of Donald Trump”
Sady Doyle, Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America

India Holton
“You are a scoundrel," she whispered furiously.

"Yes," he agreed. "I'm thinking of starting a Society of Gentlemen Scoundrels."

"You're millennia too late. It already exists and is called the patriarchy.”
India Holton, The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“But all our phrasing—race relations, racial chasm, racial justice, racial profiling, white privilege, even white supremacy—serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience, that it dislodges brains, blocks airways, rips muscle, extracts organs, cracks bones, breaks teeth. You must never look away from this. You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“I was made for the library, not the classroom. The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Nina Sankovitch
“The only balm to sorrow is memory; the only salve for the pain of losing someone to death is acknowledging the life that existed before.”
Nina Sankovitch, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading
