Sally Rooney
“Life offers up these moments of joy despite everything,”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Sally Rooney
“More or less everyone can accept the death of both body and mind past a certain point, like past the age of ninety, say, or at least it’s acceptable in theory if you don’t think about it too much. But to accept that because the body dies, at any point in time, the mind must die also, just literally whenever?”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo

bell hooks
“…You can’t talk about women’s rights until we include all women. When you deny one woman of her rights, you deny all.”
bell hooks, Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism

James Baldwin
“We all commit our crimes. The thing is to not lie about them -- to try to understand what you have done, why you have done it. That way, you can begin to forgive yourself. That's very important. If you don't forgive yourself you'll never be able to forgive anybody else and you'll go on committing the same crimes forever.”
James Baldwin, Another Country

James Baldwin
“He had often thought of his loneliness, for example, as a condition which testified to his superiority. But people who were not superior were, nevertheless, extremely lonely—and unable to break out of their solitude precisely because they had no equipment with which to enter it. His own loneliness, magnified so many million times, made the night air colder. He remembered to what excesses, into what traps and nightmares, his loneliness had driven him; and he wondered where such a violent emptiness might drive an entire city.”
James Baldwin, Another Country
