“I am not wrong: Wrong is not my name
My name is my own my own my own
and I can’t tell you who the hell set things up like this

my simple and daily and nightly self-determination
may very well cost you your life”
― June Jordan, Directed by Desire: The Collected Poems

“When you become convinced that society must make a sharp break with past values and practices, you become a revolutionary.”
