Andrea Dworkin
“Many women, I think, resist feminism because it is an agony to be fully conscious of the brutal misogyny which permeates culture, society, and all personal relationships.”
Andrea Dworkin, Our Blood: Prophecies and Discourses on Sexual Politics

Tomson Highway
“English is so hierarchical. In Cree, we don't have animate-inanimate comparisons between things. Animals have souls that are equal to ours. Rocks have souls, trees have souls. Trees are 'who,' not 'what.”
Tomson Highway

George Orwell
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
George Orwell

“Looking back, it is also the smallest moments that seem to radiate the most pain. The moments when you realize you loved these people, helplessly, that you were given no choice in this matter of loving them, and that they will always be part of you no matter how you try to carve them out of your flesh. That you are tied to them with bonds you could never sever, that they will live on inside you no matter how many effigies of them you hang and burn, no matter how often their reflections appear in the eyes of other men and women, men and women who then unwittingly play the roles of father and mother, with whom you act out the drama again and again.”
Evelyn Lau, Inside Out: Reflections on a life so far

Socrates
“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Socrates
