Ta-Nehisi Coates
“Hate gives identity. The nigger, the fag, the bitch illuminate the border, illuminate what we ostensibly are not, illuminate the Dream of being white, of being a Man. We name the hated strangers and are thus confirmed in the tribe.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Billy Graham
“I don't want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it.”
Billy Graham

Viktor E. Frankl
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
Viktor E. Frankl

Kacen Callender
“For trans and nonbinary youth: You're beautiful. You're important. You're valid. You're perfect.”
Kacen Callender⁣, Felix Ever After

Victoria Redel
“Tell me what you need to tell me but keep far away from my son who
still loves a beautiful thing not for what it means—
this way or that—but for the way facets set off prisms and prisms spin up
everywhere
and from his own jeweled body he’s cast rainbows—made every shining
true color.

Now try to tell me—man or woman—your heart was ever once that brave.”
Victoria Redel
