“To love somebody is not just a strong feeling - it's a decision, it's a judgement, it's a promise.”
― bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions

“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”
― Audre Lorde

“I find it so bizarre that I occupy space, and that I am seen by other people.”
― Emily R. Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead

“The will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth… Love is as love does. Love is an act of will-namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.”
― bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions
