Donald A. Norman
“It is the duty of machines and those who design them to understand people. It is not our duty to understand the arbitrary, meaningless dictates of machines.”
Donald A. Norman, The Design of Everyday Things

Naomi Wolf
“A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.”
Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth

Ragen Chastain
“I am the boss of my underpants. You can be the boss of yours.”
Ragen Chastain

Laurie Halse Anderson
“The same boys who got detention in elementary school for beating the crap out of people are now rewarded for it. They call it football.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Speak

Megan Jayne Crabbe
“But reserving the right to do whatever you want to your own body isn’t body positivity, it’s body autonomy, and they are two different things. Body autonomy means what you do with your own body isn’t anyone else’s business, which means that anything goes, even diet culture. Body positivity is a much more specific concept based on accepting our bodies as they are and fighting against the forces that tell us we’re not supposed to. It has barriers that keep things like diet culture out, because they go against its very meaning.”
Megan Jayne Crabbe, Body Positive Power: Because Life Is Already Happening and You Don't Need Flat Abs to Live It
