― Jane Kirkpatrick, This Road We Traveled

“All my life I have overheard, all my life I have listened to what people will let slip when they think you are part of their we. A we is so powerful. It is the most corrupt and formidable institution on earth. Its hands are full of the crispest and most persuasive currency. Its mouth is full of received, repeating language. The we closes its ranks to protect the space inside it, where the air is different. It does not protect people. It protects its own shape.”
― Patricia Lockwood, Priestdaddy

“When has anyone ever told me
I had the right to stop it all
without my knuckles, or my anger,
with just some simple words.”
― Elizabeth Acevedo, The Poet X

“Unser Leben hängt davon ab, was wir aus dem machen, was aus uns gemacht wurde.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre
