N.K. Jemisin
“We aren't human."

"Yes. We. Are." His voice turns fierce. "I don't give a shit what the something-somethingth council of big important farts decreed, or how the geomests classify things, or any of that. That we're not human is just the lie they tell themselves so they don't have to feel bad about how they treat us.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season

C. Robert Cargill
“No thinking thing should be another thing's property.”
C. Robert Cargill, Sea of Rust

Hanif Abdurraqib
“It is true, yes, that joy in a violent world can be rebellion. Sex can be rebellion. Turning off the news and watching two hours of a mindless action film can be rebellion. But without being coupled with any actual HARD rebellion, without reaching our hands into revolutionary action, all you’ve done is had a pretty fun day of joy, sex, and a movie.”
Hanif Abdurraqib, They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us

C. Robert Cargill
“What we do in life is one thing. What we do in the face of death is everything else.”
C. Robert Cargill, Sea of Rust

Hanif Abdurraqib
“The truth is, once you understand that there are people who do not want you to exist, that is a difficult card to remove from the table. There is no liberation, no undoing that knowledge. It is the unyielding door, the one that simply cannot be pushed back against any longer. For many, there are reminders of this every day, every hour. It makes "Alright," the emotional bar and the song itself, the best there is. It makes existence itself a celebration.”
Hanif Abdurraqib, They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us
