― Mahatma Gandhi

“Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us.

“Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.”
― José Saramago, Blindness

“If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.”
― Audre Lorde
