bell hooks
“...the more students recognize their own uniqueness and particularity, the more they listen.”
bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom

“So was that what it meant to be Saved? To have sugar and pills and prayers?”
Nemonte Nenquimo, We Will Be Jaguars: A Memoir of My People

“Your feet know more about the forest than that government lawyer. Your toes know more about the forest than all of Civilization.” She nodded, unmoved by the thought, kept her eyes trained on the courtroom. She knew that already. When she was a young girl, on the trek with my father to the missionary village, she was bitten by a pit viper. The venom had coursed through her toes, up her ankles, her legs. Her feet had stepped on uncountable roots, seeds, leaves, mushrooms, thorns and been bitten by bullet ants and mosquitos, stung by wasps and scorpions and stingrays, dusted by tarantulas, burned by caterpillar hairs. Her feet could press into a garden’s soil and tell her when it was time to plant and when it was time to burn. Her toes could distinguish between the bark of cedar and mahogany, of peach palm and cinnamon, of kapok and guava.”
Nemonte Nenquimo, We Will Be Jaguars: A Memoir of My People

“Freedom has no musts.”
Marjan Kamali, The Lion Women of Tehran

“This is one of the tragedies in education today. We have a lot of people who don’t recognize that being a teacher is being with people.”
