Kate Stayman-London
“Bea felt a pang in her gut: Yes, she wanted to scream, I want this more than you could possibly imagine. But the idea of saying that out loud [...] felt terrifying. Like giving voice to this secret piece of herself would allow everyone in the world to tell her just how foolish she was for wanting something so laughably out of reach.”
Kate Stayman-London, One to Watch

Lily King
“All problems with writing and performing come from fear. Fear of exposure, fear of weakness, fear of lack of talent, fear of looking like a fool for trying, for even thinking you could write in the first place. It’s all fear. If we didn’t have fear, imagine the creativity in the world. Fear holds us back every step of the way.”
Lily King, Writers & Lovers

Beth Allison Barr

Beth Allison Barr, The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth

Isabel Wilkerson
“So the real question would be,' he said finally, 'if people were given the choice between democracy and whiteness, how many would choose whiteness?'

- Taylor Branch, as quoted by Isabel Wilkerson in Caste”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

“Wanting someone to stand for the national anthem rather than stand up for justice means loving the symbol more than what it symbolizes.”
Heather McGhee, The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together
