“الشريعة و ماهي الشريعة ؟ من رآها نازلة مع نور الشمس من أعماق السماء ؟”
― جبران خليل جبران, ‫الأرواح المتمردة‬

“What is sacredness?
What is true is sacred. What has been suffered. What is beautiful.
So the Telling tries to find the truth in events or the pain, or the beauty?
No need to try to find it, said Unroy. The sacredness is there. In the truth, the pain, the beauty. So that the telling of it is sacred.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Telling

“The white fathers told us: I think, therefore I am. The Black mother within each of us — the poet — whispers in our dreams: I feel, therefore I can be free. Poetry coins the language to express and charter this revolutionary demand, the implementation of that freedom.”
― Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

“Hold fast to the one noble thing.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Four Ways to Forgiveness
