“We make the revolutionary history, telling the past as we have learned it mouth-to-mouth, telling the present as we see, know, and feel it in our heats and with our words.”
bell hooks, Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black

Vivek Shraya
“I’m afraid of men because it was men who taught me to fear. I’m afraid of men because it was men who taught me to fear the word girl by turning it into a weapon they used to hurt me. I’m afraid of men because it was men who taught me to hate and eventually destroy my femininity. I’m afraid of men because it was men who taught me to fear the extraordinary parts of myself”
Vivek Shraya, I'm Afraid of Men.

“Falling in love with another human is terrifying. As our language insists, romantic love is always preceded by a fall, the necessity of losing control and potentially hurting yourself in the process of connecting with another”
Vivek Shraya, I'm Afraid of Men.

“We children were terrified by the story. We still listened to the old believers, they who were never dismissive, they who were never afriad to entertain the shadow”
Tom Dawe, Spirited Away: Fairy stories of old Newfoundland

Drew Hayden Taylor
“First Nations and science fiction don't usually go together. In fact, they could be considered rather unusual topics to mention in the same sentence, much like fish and bicycles.... To me, sci-fi was a world of possibilities. As a fan of writing, why shouldn't my fascination extend to such unconventional works? It was still writing, still literature in all its glory, but here they used different tools to explore the human condition, be they aliens, advanced technology, or other such novel approaches.... I wanted to take traditional (a buzzword in the Native community) science-fiction characteristics and filter them through an Aboriginal consciousness.”
Drew Hayden Taylor, Take Us To Your Chief And Other Stories
