Tressie McMillan Cottom
“Smart is only a construct of correspondence, between one’s abilities, one’s environment, and one’s moment in history.”
Tressie McMillan Cottom, Thick: And Other Essays

Natalie Goldberg
“If you are not afraid of the voices inside you, you will not fear the critics outside you.”
Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within

Tressie McMillan Cottom
“[to know your whites] ... is to be intimate with some white persons but to critically withhold faith in white people categorically”
Tressie McMillan Cottom, Thick: And Other Essays

Audre Lorde
“Rationality is not unnecessary. It serves the chaos of knowledge. It serves feeling. It serves to get from this place to that place. But if you don't honor those places, then the road is meaningless. Too often, that's what happens with the worship of rationality and that circular, academic, analytic thinking. But ultimately, I don't see feel/think as a dichotomy. I see them as a choice of ways and combinations.”
Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

Natalie Goldberg
“Writers live twice. They go along with their regular life, are as fas as anyone in the grocery store, crossing the street, getting dressed for work in the morning. But there's another part of them that they have been training. The one that lives every second at a time. That sits down and sees their life again and goes over it. Looks at the texture and details.”
Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within
