Rebecca Solnit
“You could be erased a little so that there was less of you, less confidence, less freedom, or your rights could be eroded, your body invaded so that it was less and less yours, you could be rubbed out altogether, and none of those possibilities seemed particularly remote. All the worst things that happened to other women because they were women could happen to you because you were a woman. Even if you weren’t killed, something in you was, your sense of freedom, equality, confidence”
Rebecca Solnit, Recollections of My Nonexistence

Dennis Cooper
“To you, the fairy tale’s a cheesy medium that builds physically unsound worlds that one eventually outgrows, and to me a fairy tale is city planning.”
Dennis Cooper, I Wished

Rebecca Solnit
“A landscape full of places named after women and statues of women might have encouraged me and other girls in profound ways.”
Rebecca Solnit, Recollections of My Nonexistence: A Memoir

Richard Powers
“Nobody’s perfect, she liked to say. But, man, we all fall short so beautifully.”
Richard Powers, Bewilderment

Audre Lorde
“There is so much false spirituality around us these days, calling itself goddess-worship or "the way." It is false because too cheaply bought and little understood, but most of all because it does not lend, but rather saps, that energy we need to do our work. So when an example of the real power of healing love comes along such as this one, it is difficult to use the same words to talk about it because so many of our best and most erotic words have been so cheapened.

Perhaps I can say this all more simply; I say the love of women healed me.”
Audre Lorde, The Cancer Journals
