“A commitment to disrupting the state's violence when and where we see it takes feminism outside of the realm of words and theories and makes it a living, breathing set of principles. It reminds us that where we can make interventions, we should and that only work that seeks to shake and unsettle the very foundations of the sexist state is feminist work.”
― Lola Olufemi, Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power

“Light spilled off every surface. The light of day. I meditated on this phrase and stared into the radiance.”
― Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

“A feminism that seeks power instead of questioning it does not care about justice.”
― Lola Olufemi, Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power

“Feminism is a political project about what could be. It's always looking forward, invested in futures we can't quite grasp yet. It's a way of wishing, hoping, aiming, at everything that has been deemed impossible.”
― Lola Olufemi, Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power
