“We turn to books to prove that we exist.”
Sassafras Lowrey

Nalo Hopkinson
“I made myself listen to the birds singing squabbles and love songs. Occasionally I heard a war. Sharp mechanical sounds clashed with the nature music. Bells and whistles mashed together in nagging bursts. My new life was calling. I had to get on with it. Body historians, griots of the galaxy, we didn’t diddle ourselves in jungle paradises, we inhabited flesh to gather a genealogy of life. We sought the story behind all the stories.”
Nalo Hopkinson, So Long Been Dreaming: Postcolonial Science Fiction & Fantasy

June Jordan
“The whole world will become a home to all of us, or none of us can hope to live on it, peacefully. But much of the American dream mistakenly supposes that, like a tree, we will grow and flourish, standing in one place where we murmur doomed declarations about our roots, about finding our roots, or putting down roots. In fact, of course, if we remain where we start from we will neither grow nor flourish.”
June Jordan, Some of Us Did Not Die: New and Selected Essays

Fatema Mernissi
“There are two prerequisites to growing wings: the first is to feel encircled and the second is to believe that you can break the circle.”
Fatima Mernissi

“We are not ready to fight because we love fighting. We are ready to fight because we are worth fighting for.”
