“Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
― Frederick Douglass

“True peace required the presence of justice, not just the absence of conflict.”
― N.K. Jemisin, The Killing Moon

“Don't let the bastards grind you down.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
― Margaret Atwood
