Audre Lorde
“The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house”
Audre Lorde

John Steinbeck
“Maybe-- maybe love makes you suspicious and doubting. Is it true that when you love a woman you are never sure-- never sure of her because you aren't sure of yourself? ”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Mother Teresa
“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”
Mother Teresa

“I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else's whim or to someone else's ignorance.”
bell hooks

bell hooks
“Genuine love is rarely an emotional space where needs are instantly gratified. To know love we have to invest time and commitment...'dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love -- which is to transform us.' Many people want love to function like a drug, giving them an immediate and sustained high. They want to do nothing, just passively receive the good feeling.”
bell hooks
