“Whites must understand that they benefit from white privilege in order to realize how white privilege creates the space for black oppression.”

“Get comfortable with being rigorously unproductive once in a while. Being at rest for a time is not the same as wasting time: when you cut yourself a little slack, you’ll be more focused and creative when you get back to work.”
― Liz Fosslien, No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work

“Irresponsibility is part of my invisibility; any way you face it, it is a denial. But to whom can I be responsible, and why should I be, when you refuse to see me? And wait until I reveal how truly irresponsible I am. Responsibility rests upon recognition, and recognition is a form of agreement.”
― Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

― Greg McKeown, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

“I pour the red liquid over the white mound, watching it glisten and the vapor rising as Louis bends that military instrument into a beam of lyrical sound.”
