Mona Eltahawy
“A male editor I once worked with tried to dissuade me from the personal: "Who care about what happened to you?" The most subversive thing a woman can do is talk about her life as if it really matters.

It does.”
Mona Eltahawy

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I could carve a better man out of a banana.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

Barbara Kingsolver
“Certain pitiful souls around here see whiteness as their last asset that hasn’t been totaled or repossessed.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead

David Rakoff
“Being a stranger was like being dead,
and brought to mind how, in a book he had read
that most folks misunderstood one common state:
The flip side of love is indifference, not hate.”
David Rakoff, Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish

Barbara Kingsolver
“He was quiet, holding that string and kite with everything he had. The way he looked. Eyes raised up, body tethered by one long thread to the big stormy sky, the whole of him up there with his words, talking to whoever was listening. I’ve not seen a sight to match it. No bones of his had ever been shoved in a feed bag. The man was a giant.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead
