Ijeoma Umebinyuo
“Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just... start.”
Ijeoma Umebinyuo

Rebecca Traister
“Americans who might have exerted more energy to oppose Trump or support Clinton—especially white women—were goaded into inaction by the assurance that sexism and racism were things of the past, and that to work themselves up about either would look silly, would be unnecessary exertions on behalf of an imperfect candidate.”
Rebecca Traister, Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger

Rebecca Traister
“I confess that I am now suspicious of nearly every attempt to code anger as unhealthy, no matter how well meaning or persuasive the source. I believe Stanton was correct: what is bad for women, when it comes to anger, are the messages that cause us to bottle it up, let it fester, keep it silent, feel shame, and isolation for ever having felt it or re-channel it in inappropriate directions. What is good for us is opening our mouths and letting it out, permitting ourselves to feel it and say it and think it and act on it and integrate it into our lives, just as we integrate joy and sadness and worry and optimism.”
Rebecca Traister, Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger

Delia Owens
“Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.”
Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing

Mark Twain
“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”
Mark Twain
