“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”
Narcotics Anonymous

Allen Saunders
“Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.”
Allen Saunders

Frances Hodgson Burnett
“At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

Mahatma Gandhi
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Layla F. Saad
“All people, regardless of race, can hold some level of prejudice toward people who are not the same race as them. A person of any race can prejudge a person of any other race based on negative racial stereotypes and other factors. Prejudice is wrong, but it is not the same as racism. Racism is the coupling of prejudice with power, where the dominant racial group (which in a white supremacist society is people with white privilege) is able to dominate over all other racial groups and negatively affect those racial groups at all levels—personally, systematically, and institutionally. Therefore, though a BIPOC can hold prejudice against a white person, they cannot be racist toward a white person. They do not have the power (which comes with white privilege) and the backing of a system of oppression (called white supremacy) to be able to turn that prejudice into domination and punishment in a way that a white person would be able to if the tables were reversed.”
Layla F. Saad, Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor
