Audre Lorde
“Institutionalized rejection of difference is an absolute necessity in a profit economy which needs outsiders as surplus people. As members of such an economy, we have all been programmed to respond to the human difference between us with fear and loathing and to handle that difference in one of three ways: ignore it, and if that is not possible, copy it if we think it is dominant, or destroy it if we think it is subordinate. But we have no patterns for relating across our human differences as equals. As a result, those differences have been misnamed and misused in the service of separation and confusion.”
Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

Michael Ende
“Wisst ihr, meine kleinen Freunde, von der Ewigkeit her gesehen nimmt es sich oftmals ganz anders aus als im Rech der Zeit. Da sieht man, dass es eigentlich letzten Endes immer dem Guten dienen muss. Es ist sozusagen ein Widerspruch in sich selbst. Immer strebt es nach der Macht über das Gute, aber es kann ja ohne das Gute nicht sein und würde es je die vollständige Macht erlangen, so müsste es gerade das zerstören, worüber es Macht zu haben begehrt. Darum, meine Lieben, kann es nur dauern, solange es unvollständig ist. Wäre es ganz, dann würde es sich selbst aufheben, Darum hat es eben keinen Platz in der Ewigkeit. Ewig ist nur das Gute, denn es enthält sich selbst ohne Widerspruch..."

"He!" schrie Jakob Krakel und zupfte mit dem Schnabel heftig an dem goldenen Mantel. "Nix für ungut, Euer Merkwürden - Verzeihung, Hochwürden wollt ich sagen - aber das is' im Augenblick alles ziemlich Wurscht, mit Verlaub. Bis Sie mit Ihrer Füllosophie fertig sind, is' es nämlich für alleszu spät.”
Michael Ende, Wunschpunsch - Spannende Zauberabenteuer

Audre Lorde
“For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time. I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.”
Audre Lorde

“We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings.”
Audre Lorde

Audre Lorde
“You do not have to be me in order for us to fight alongside each other. I do not have to be you to recognize that our wars are the same. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strengths of our individual identities. And in order for us to do this, we must allow each other our differences at the same time as we recognize our sameness.”
Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches
