“When someone ignores you, it's an intentional display of power. They're essentially acting like you don't exist, and they do it because they can. They believe that nothing will happen to them. Ignoring silences people. It intentionally avoids resolution or compromise. It ignites your worst fears of unworthiness because it makes you feel that you deserve to be ignored. Inevitably, being ignored puts you in the position of having to choose between making a fuss or accepting the silent treatment. If you stand up to the ignorer and get in their face, you break the norms of polite behavior and end up feeling worse, diminished, demeaned.”
Judith Heumann, Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist

“what is done for us, without us, is not for us,”
Elizabeth Nyamayaro, I Am A Girl From Africa

“Ignoring is the worst punishment you can give a child and even an adult. There’s a tribe in Africa where, instead of giving criminals the death penalty, they are to be ignored by everyone, as if they no longer exist. Nobody looks at them; nobody talks to them. It’s as if they became invisible ghosts. That’s worse than death.   Long”
Brian Keephimattracted, F*CK Him! - Nice Girls Always Finish Single

“Ah, kindness. What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in the world.”
Alison Malee

“The most critical time in any battle is not when I’m fatigued, it’s when I no longer care.”
