Susan’s Quotes

“Divisions among the oppressed, Hasan said, are gifts to the oppressor.”
― Chris Hedges, America: The Farewell Tour

“Cut the ties you have to failure and shame. Let go the pain you are holding in your mind, your shoulders, your heart, all the way to your feet. Let go the pain of your ancestors to make way for those who are heading in our direction. Ask for forgiveness. Call upon the help of those who love you. These helpers take many forms: animal, element, bird, angel, saint, stone, or ancestor.”
― Joy Harjo, Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings: Poems
