Barbara Kingsolver
“I got up every day thinking the sun was out there shining, and it could just as well shine on me as any other human person.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead

“The birthday wish is the most power I have in my life right now. It's my best chance at control. I don't take this opportunity for granted.”
Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died

Erika L. Sánchez
“Women of color are regularly praised for our resilience. But what's so often overlooked is that our resilience is a response to so many forms of violence. For us, resilience is more than a noble trait. It's a lifestyle that oppression has demanded of us. Either we adapt, or we die.”
Erika L. Sánchez, Crying in the Bathroom

Matthew Desmond
“Just because desperate people seek out exploitative conditions doesn't make those conditions any less exploitative.”
Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America

Matthew Desmond
“A higher minimum wage is an antidepressant. It is a sleep aid. A stress reliever. Vocal segments of the American public, those with brain space to spare, seem to believe the poor should change their behavior to escape poverty. Get a better job. Stop having children. Make smarter financial decisions. In truth, it’s the other way around: Economic security leads to better choices.”
Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America
