Audre Lorde
“The true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations which we seek to escape, but that piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us, and which knows only the oppressors' tactics, the oppressors' relationships.”
Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

Audre Lorde
“Oppressed peoples are always being asked to stretch a little more, to bridge the gap between blindness and humanity.”
Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

Audre Lorde
“The angers between women will not kill us if we can articulate them with precision, if we listen to the content of what is said with at least as much intensity as we defend ourselves agains the manner of saying. When we turn from anger we turn from insight, saying we will accept only the designs already known, deadly and safely familiar. I have tried to learn my anger's usefulness to me, as well as its limitations.”
Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

“Self-compassion isn't about ignoring the issue or letting yourself off the hook, it's about noticing that you're struggling, reminding yourself that you're not alone, and treating yourself with kindness. It's about getting yourself into a better headspace so you can think clearly and make better choices going forward.”
Carla Naumburg, How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t with Your Kids: A Practical Guide to Becoming a Calmer, Happier Parent

“Some problems are just part of the imperfect life we imperfect humans are living, and the best we can do is muddle through, ideally with a hefty dose of compassion and the help of a good friend who will make you a snack and keep you laughing even when it feels like it's all falling apart.”
Carla Naumburg, How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t with Your Kids: A Practical Guide to Becoming a Calmer, Happier Parent
