Rebecca Solnit
“Some women get erased a little at a time, some all at once. Some reappear. Every woman who appears wrestles with the forces that would have her disappear. She struggles with the forces that would tell her story for her, or write her out of the story, the genealogy, the rights of man, the rule of law. The ability to tell your own story, in words or images, is already a victory, already a revolt.”
Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me

Azar Nafisi
“You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place, I told him, like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way ever again.”
Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books

Albert Einstein
“Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.”
Albert Einstein

Michael Jordan
“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Show a people as one thing, only one thing, over and over again, and that is what they become.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
