“People usually tell you to forgive the one who hurt you, they tell you to move on and they tell you that you are strong enough to handle yourself but, what they never tell you about forgiveness is that it is one of the most painful things to do in life.

“I want to deconstruct the structural power of a system that marked me out as different. I don't wish to be assimilated into the status quo, I want to be liberated from all negative assumptions that my characteristics bring. The onus is not on me to change. Instead, it's the world around me.”

“Living your truth is so healing. Never hide parts of you because you are scared of other people’s judgments.”

“Fighting for the freedom of one's people is not the only necessity. As long as the fight goes on you must enlighten not only the people but also, and above all, yourself on the full measure of man. You must retrace the paths of history, the history of man damned by other men, and initiate, bring about, the encounter between your own people and others.”

“This notion that we must wait and wait while we slowly progress out of enslavement into liberation, out of ignorance into knowledge, out of the present limitations into a future union with the Divine, is only true if we let it be so. But we need not. We can shift our identification from the ego to the Overself in our habitual thinking, in our daily reactions and attitudes, in our response to events and the world. We have thought our way into this unsatisfactory state; we can unthink our way out of it. By incessantly remembering what we really are, here and now at this very moment, we set ourselves free. Why wait for what already is?”
