“I am nowhere near as brave as people believe me to be. As a writer, armed with words, I can do anything, but when I have to take my body out into the world, courage fails me.”
― Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

“The madman bum and angel beat in time with the absolute heart of the poem butchered out of their own bodies good to eat a thousand years”
― Allen Ginsberg, Howl

“Goodness, what beautiful diamonds!' 'Goodness had nothing to do with it'.”
― Mae West

“I write because I'm free,

because I can,

because I will.



I write because I must,

because I'm breathing,

because I'd go crazy otherwise,

because it's who I am.



I write to make a statement,

to share my thoughts,

to discover myself,

to express my ideas.



But most of all, I write for future generations.

I write for love.

I write to inspire.

I write to encourage.

I write for me.”
― Nadège Richards
