Alice Walker
“The Olinka girls do not believe girls should be educated. When I asked a mother why she thought this, she said: A girl is nothing to herself; only to her husband can she become something.
What can she become? I asked.
Why, she said, the mother of his children.
But I am not the mother of anybody's children, I said, and I am something.”
Alice Walker, The Color Purple

Angela Y. Davis
“For me revolution was never an interim “thing-to-do” before settling down; it was no fashionable club with newly minted jargon, or new kind of social life—made thrilling by risk and confrontation, made glamorous by costume. Revolution is a serious thing, the most serious thing about a revolutionary’s life. When one commits oneself to the struggle, it must be for a lifetime.”
Angela Y. Davis, An Autobiography

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“But we are not them, and the standards of enslavers, colonizers, and villains simply will not do. We require another standard—one that sees the sharpening of our writing as the sharpening of our quality of light. And with that light we are charged with examining the stories we have been told, and how they undergird the politics we have accepted, and then telling new stories ourselves.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message

Alice Walker
“People do not wish to appear foolish; to avoid the appearance of foolishness, they are willing to remain actually fools. ”
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
“Surely the earth can be saved
by all the people
who insist
on love.”
Alice Walker, Horses Make a Landscape Look More Beautiful
