“Though we tremble before uncertain futures
may we meet illness, death and adversity with strength
may we dance in the face of our fears.
”

“Nobody’s going to save you.
No one’s going to cut you down
cut the thorns around you.
No one’s going to storm
the castle walls nor
kiss awake your birth,
climb down your hair,
nor mount you
onto the white steed.

There is no one who
will feed the yearning.
Face it. You will have
to do, do it yourself.”
― Gloria Anzaldua

― Arundhati Roy

“They cuffed his hands, his arms, his waist, and his feet!  Like as if he was resisting!  He wasn’t! ”
― Jenny Rodriguez, Undocumented: The True Stories of Illegal Immigrants and Their Children
