Mary Wollstonecraft
“But what a weak barrier is truth when it stands in the way of an hypothesis!”
Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

Audre Lorde
“And yes, there is a hierarchy. There is a difference between painting a back fence and writing a poem, but only one of quantity. And there is, for me, no difference between writing a good poem and moving into sunlight against the body of a woman I love.”
Audre Lorde, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power

Marcus Aurelius
“The universe is either chaos, a convoluted dispersion, or a unified field of order and providence.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius: the New Translation

Ursula K. Le Guin
“A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skilful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well, - this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection and of sociality as a whole.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Ursula K. Le Guin
“There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
