Elena Ferrante
“Once, she closed the book abruptly and said with annoyance, "That's enough." "Why?" "Because I've had it, it's always the same story: inside something small there's something even smaller that wants to leap out, and outside something large there's always someting larger that wants to keep it a prisoner.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of a New Name

Susan Cain
“I worry that there are people who are put in positions of authority because they're good talkers, but they don't have good ideas. It's so easy to confuse schmoozing ability with talent. Someone seems like a good presenter, easy to get along with, and those traits are rewarded. Well, why is that? They're valuable traits, but we put too much of a premium on presenting and not enough on substance and critical thinking.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Reni Eddo-Lodge
“White privilege is an absence of the consequences of racism. An absence of structural discrimination, an absence of your race being viewed as a problem first and foremost.”
Reni Eddo-Lodge, Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race

Elena Ferrante
“Lila was happy, and she was drawing me deeper and deeper into her fierce happiness, because she had suddenly found, perhaps without even realizing it, an opportunity that allowed her to portray the fury she directed against herself, the insurgence, perhaps for the first time in her life, of the need - and here the verb used by Michele was appropriate - to erase herself.”
Elena Ferrante

Kristiina Ehin
“Nüüd, kakskümmend aastat hiljem, olen siin Viljandis sõbranna sünnipäeval. Meie heledapäised pojad mängivad teises toas ja üleüldises melus tõstab sõber Jaak äkki häält. Ta tahtvat toosti ütelda. Mu lillelises kleidis sõbranna naeratab malbelt ja jääb tervituskõnet kuulama. Mingil peenel moel põimib Jaak oma kõnesse ka meheks ja naiseks olemise. Ta räägib, et palju kõneldakse sellest, kui raske olevat olla naine. Aga tema tahab rõhutada seda, et mees on üldse peaaegu võimatu olla. Mõiste mees tekitab negatiivseid kuvandeid veel rohkem kui naine. Eesti mees olevat aga veel eriti raske olla. Sellesse olevat mingil kummalisel moel segatud Mahtra ja Anija meeste uhkus ja häbi, korraga ülemuslikkus ja alaväärsus, elumehe ja nohiku kuvand - ja seda kõike nii salakavalalt, et see söövat hinge verele. Ta tõstab toosti selle terviseks, et me kõik leiaksime endas kuidagimoodi üles selle, mis on ehe, olgu me siis naised või mehed, et me ei laseks ennast piirata mingitel tontlikel mõistetel, suurtel mehelikkuse ja naiselikkuse v a l a s k a l a d e l, vaid oleksime looduslapselikult p ä r i s, just nagu meie lillelises kleidis juubilar.”
Kristiina Ehin, Paleontoloogi päevaraamat
