“The specific character of [women's] oppression cannot be explained away by equating different situations through superficial and childish simplifications[:]

It is true that both the woman and the male worker are condemned to silence by their exploitation. But under the current system, the worker's wife is also condemned to silence by her worker-husband.

― Thomas Sankara, Women's Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle

“Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“Transmuting this sandy metaphor, if literature is my sandbox, then the real world is my hourglass—an hourglass that drains grain by grain.”
