Charlotte Perkins Gilman
“Then I thought of all the other women, the real ones, the vast majority, patiently doing the work of servants without even a servant's pay - and neglecting the noblest duties of motherhood in favor of house-service; the greatest power on earth, blind, chained untaught, in a treadmill. I thought of what they might do, compared to what they did do, and my heart swelled with something that was far from anger.

Then I wished - with all my strength - that women, all women, might realize Womanhood at last; its power and pride and place in life; that they might see their duty as mothers of the world - to love and care for everyone alive; that they might see their duty to men- to choose only the best, and then to bear and rear better ones; that they might see their duty as human beings, and come right out into full life and work and happiness!”
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, When I Was a Witch

Stacy Willingham
“They're clichés, but they're true. And it's okay for me to say that, because I'm a cliché, too.”
Stacy Willingham, A Flicker in the Dark

“A revolution is not easy, it can mean death, and even with misery life can be precious. Such people only turn to revolt when between life and death there is little difference.”
William J. Pomeroy, The Forest: A Personal Record of the Huk Guerrilla Struggle in the Philippines

Octavia E. Butler
“There are fewer and fewer jobs among us, more of us being born, more kids growing up with nothing to look forward to. One way or another, we'll all be poor some day. The adults say things will get better, but they never have.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

Salman Rushdie
“Dear reader, if you have never had a catheter inserted into your genital organ, do your very best to keep that record intact.”
Salman Rushdie, Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder
