Martin Luther King Jr.
“But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

Nickolas Butler
“This is my home. This is the place that first believed in me. That still believes in me.”
Nickolas Butler, Shotgun Lovesongs

Madeline Miller
“It is a common saying that women are delicate creatures, flowers, eggs, anything that may be crushed in a moment's carelessness. If I had ever believed it, I no longer did.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

Jeanne Theoharis
“[Rosa Parks] also found it annoying that people reduced her resistance to segregation to tired feet when her feet were never the problem--the problem was injustice.... And she didn't like that she was only known for that day on the bus when she held a lifetime of political experiences.”
Jeanne Theoharis, The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks

Madeline Miller
“Humbling women seems to me a chief pastime of poets. As if there can be no story unless we crawl and weep.”
Madeline Miller, Circe
