“The discovery that awaits us is that paradise is contained in the here and now.”
― Gregory Boyle, Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship

“But all our phrasing—race relations, racial chasm, racial justice, racial profiling, white privilege, even white supremacy—serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience, that it dislodges brains, blocks airways, rips muscle, extracts organs, cracks bones, breaks teeth. You must never look away from this. You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

“you were a dragon long before
he came around and said
you could fly

you will remain a dragon
long after he's left”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“What if we ceased to pledge our allegiance to the bottom line and stood, instead, with those who line the bottom?”
― Gregory Boyle, Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship
