Anthony Doerr
“You know the greatest lesson of history? It’s that history is whatever the victors say it is. That’s the lesson. Whoever wins, that’s who decides the history. We act in our own self-interest. Of course we do. Name me a person or a nation who does not. The trick is figuring out where your interests are.”
Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“I spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much I loved her.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Ruby Hamad
“White women can oscillate between their gender and their race, between being the oppressed and the oppressor. Women of color are never permitted to exist outside of these constraints: we are both women and people of color and we are always seen and treated as such.”
Ruby Hamad, White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color

Benjamin Alire Sáenz
“I wondered what that was like, to hold someone’s hand. I bet you could sometimes find all of the mysteries of the universe in someone’s hand.”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Ruby Hamad
“A white woman may well be punished for an emotional outburst when interacting with men, but if she is engaged in a terse interaction with a woman of color and she becomes emotional, by which I mean either angry or distraught, with or without actual tears, the deeply embedded notions of gender and femininity are triggered and it is the white woman who is likely to be vindicated.”
Ruby Hamad, White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color
