“feminism is for everybody”
bell hooks

Alice Walker
“Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.

Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.

Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.”
alice walker

“It’s in the act of having to do things that you don’t want to that you learn something about moving past the self. Past the ego.”
bell hooks

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”
Narcotics Anonymous

Saul Williams
“i am like a survivor
of the flood
walking through the streets
drenched with
God
surprised that all of the
drowned victims
are still walking and talking”
Saul Williams, , said the shotgun to the head.
