“I believe that all organizing is science fiction - that we are shaping the future we long for and have not yet experienced.”
Adrienne Maree Brown, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good

Ntozake Shange
“i loved you on purpose
i was open on purpose
i still crave vulnerability & close talk
& i'm not even sorry bout you bein sorry
you can carry all the guilt & grime ya wanna
just dont give it to me
i cant use another sorry
next time
you should admit
you're mean/ low-down/ triflin/ & no count straight out
steada bein sorry alla the time
enjoy bein yrself”
Ntozake Shange, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf

bell hooks
“Let's not kid ourselves, we find mutual love only when we know how to love. And the best place to start practicing the art of love is with the self--that body, mind, heart, and soul that we can most know and change.
The one person who will never leave us, whom we will never lose, is ourselves. Learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin....rather than embracing faulty thinking that encourages us to believe that females are inherently loving, we make the choice to become loving. Choosing love, we affirm our agency, our commitment to personal growth, our emotional openness.”

“I touch my own skin, and it tells me that before there was any harm, there was miracle.”

bell hooks
“The practice of love offers no place of safety. We risk loss, hurt, pain. We risk being acted upon by forces outside our control.”
Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions
