“When you know yourself and your strengths, there is always something you can do to raise the standard for everyone.”
― Megan Rapinoe, One Life

“The church she went to was one of those supposedly liberal ones that pretends to be accepting but actually preaches “Hate the sin, love the sinner.” Which is, of course, motherfucking-ass homophobic. It’s so much worse than regular homophobia, because these people don’t think they’re homophobic. You’re homophobic! And you’re hiding behind Christianity!”
― Megan Rapinoe, One Life

Nitobe Inazō
“Tranquillity is courage in repose. It is a statical manifestation of valor, as daring deeds are a dynamical. A truly brave man is ever serene; he is never taken by surprise; nothing ruffles the equanimity of his spirit.”
― Inazo Nitobe, Bushido, the Soul of Japan

“Real change lies within all of us. It is in the choices we make every day. It's in how we talk, who we hire, and what we permit others to say in our presence. It's in reading more, thinking more, considering a different perspective. At its simplest, it's in whether we're willing to spend even five minutes a day thinking about how we can make the world better.”
― Megan Rapinoe, One Life

“Besides which, no matter what shape protests against racism take, they are always met with the accusation that while the principle might be right, the execution is wrong.”
― Megan Rapinoe, One Life
