Reni Eddo-Lodge
“To be white is to be human; to be white is universal. I only know this because I am not.”
Reni Eddo-Lodge, Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Books, you know, they’re not just commodities. The profit motive often is in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art—the art of words.”
Ursula K. Le Guin

Reni Eddo-Lodge
“If feminism can understand the patriarchy, it's important to question why so many feminists struggle to understand whiteness as a political structure in the very same way.”
Reni Eddo-Lodge, Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race

Anaïs Nin
“And in his eyes he had the look of the cat who inspires a desire to caress but loves no one, who never feels he must respond to the impulses he arouses.”
Anaïs Nin, Delta of Venus

Reni Eddo-Lodge
“Not seeing race does little to deconstruct racist structures or materially improve the conditions which people of colour are subject to daily. In order to dismantle unjust, racist structures, we must see race. We must see who benefits from their race, who is disproportionately impacted by negative stereotypes about their race, and to who power and privilege is bestowed upon - earned or not - because of their race, their class, and their gender. Seeing race is essential to changing the system.”
Reni Eddo-Lodge, Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race
