Toni Morrison
“Beauty was not simply something to behold; it was something one could do.”
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

Toni Morrison
“The death of self-esteem can occur quickly, easily in children, before their ego has “legs,” so to speak. Couple the vulnerability of youth with indifferent parents, dismissive adults, and a world, which, in its language, laws, and images, re-enforces despair, and the journey to destruction is sealed.”
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

Maggie Nelson
“The moment of queer pride is a refusal to be shamed by witnessing the other as being ashamed of you.”
Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

Maggie Nelson
“But whatever sameness I’ve noted in my relationships with women is not the sameness of Woman, and certainly not the sameness of parts. Rather, it is the shared, crushing understanding of what it means to live in a patriarchy.”
Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

Maggie Nelson
“Evolution strikes me as infinitely more spiritually profound than Genesis.”
Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts
