Akala
“The concept of whiteness goes hand in hand with the concept of white supremacy – hence why the progress against white supremacy that has been made so far feels, to some white people, like an attack on their identity.”
Akala, Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire

Malcolm Gladwell
“If you are going to do something truly innovative, you have to be someone who does not value social approval. You can’t need social approval to go forward.”
Malcolm Gladwell

Osho
“Love is the nourishment for the soul. Just as food is to the body, so love is to the soul. Without food the body is weak, without love the soul is weak. And no state, no church, no vested interest has ever wanted people to have strong souls, because a person with spiritual energy is bound to be rebellious. Love makes you rebellious, revolutionary. Love gives you wings to soar high. Love gives you insight into things, so that nobody can deceive you, exploit you, oppress you. And the priests and the politicians survive only on your blood; they survive only on exploitation.”
Osho, Love, Freedom, and Aloneness: On Relationships, Sex, Meditation, and Silence

“It takes no deep insight to see that the source of both our well-being and our maladies lies within our own hearts and minds. To change our experience of life we must inevitably change our hearts and minds, or rather our heart/minds.”
B. Alan Wallace

Akala
“But when a given group is used to having all of the political power, and virtually unlimited privilege to define and name the world, any
power sharing, any obligation to hear the opinions of formerly ‘subject races’ -
who would have once been called uppity niggers and lynched accordingly - can
feel like oppression.”
Akala, Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire
