Ta-Nehisi Coates
“And the great privilege of great power is an incuriosity about those who lack it. That incuriosity is what afflicts the dullest critics of safe spaces and the like. But if these writers, teachers, and administrators could part with the privilege of their own ignorance, they would see that they too need safe spaces, and that for their own sakes, they have made a safe space of nearly the entire world.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message

Solvej Balle
“We have grown accustomed to living with that knowledge without feeling dizzy every morning, and instead of moving around warily and tentatively, in constant amazement, we behave as if nothing has happened, take the strangeness of it all for granted and get dizzy if life shows itself as it truly is: improbable, unpredictable, remarkable.”
Solvej Balle, On the Calculation of Volume I

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“In a gift economy, wealth is understood as having enough to share, and the practice for dealing with abundance is to give it away. In fact, status is determined not by how much one accumulates, but by how much one gives away. The currency in a gift economy is relationship, which is expressed as gratitude, as interdependence and the ongoing cycles of reciprocity. A gift economy nurtures the community bonds that enhance mutual well-being; the economic unit is “we” rather than “I,” as all flourishing is mutual.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“The practice of observing the living world and taking inspirations for human ways of living from its model is an essential element of indigenous science. It embraces the reality that there are intelligences other than our own, from whom we might learn.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

bell hooks
“Self-love is always risky for women within patriarchy. Females are rewarded more when we experience ourselves and act as though we are flawed, insecure, or especially dependent and needy...Usually self-help books and therapies encourage us to believe that acts of self-love will make life better, happier. So it is especially confusing to women when we choose to be self-loving only to find ourselves resented.”
bell hooks, Communion: The Female Search for Love
