Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Teach her that if you criticize X in women but do not criticize X in men, then you do not have a problem with X, you have a problem with women.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions

Gloria Steinem
“Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.”
Gloria Steinem

Grady Hendrix
“Sometimes she craved a little danger. And that was why she had book club.”
Grady Hendrix, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires

Bryan Stevenson
“Finally, I've come to believe that the true measure of our commitment to justice, the character of our society, our commitment to the rule of law, fairness, and equality cannot be measured by how we treat the rich, the powerful, the privileged, and the respected among us. The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned. We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“What do those who struggle against power do when they seize power? What does the revolutionary do when the revolution triumphs? Why do those who call for independence and freedom take away the independence and freedom of others? And is it sane or insane to believe, as so many around us apparently do, in nothing? We can only answer these questions for ourselves. Our life and our death have taught us always to sympathize with the undesirables among the undesirables. Thus magnetized by experience, our compass continually points toward those who suffer.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
