Tara Westover
“The decisions I made after that moment were not the ones she would have made. They were the choices of a changed person, a new self.
You could call this selfhood many things. Transformation. Metamorphosis. Falsity. Betrayal.
I call it an education”
Tara Westover, Educated

Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
“I personally subscribe to Dr. King’s definition of an unjust law as being ‘out of harmony with the moral law.’ And the higher moral law here is that people have a human right to move, to change location, if they experience hunger, poverty, violence, or lack of opportunity, especially if that climate in their home countries is created by the United States, as is the case with most third world countries from which people migrate. Ain’t that ’bout a bitch.”
Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, The Undocumented Americans

James   McBride
“He’s a drunk. One of those guys who dies at twenty and is buried at eighty.”
James McBride, Deacon King Kong

“What I saw in Flint was a microcosm of the way the government treats the undocumented everywhere, making the conditions in this country as deadly and toxic and inhumane as possible so that we will self-deport. What I saw in Flint was what I had seen everywhere else, what I had felt in my own poisoned blood and bones. Being killed softly, silently, and with impunity.”
Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, The Undocumented Americans

“Those who do not turn to face their pain are prone to impose it.”
Terrence Real, I Don't Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression
