“I will never say that progress is being made.
If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress.
If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. The progress is healing the wound that's below, that the blow made. And they haven't even begun to pull the knife out, much less pull, heal the wound...

They won't even admit the knife is there.”
― Malcolm X

“I was chosen."

― Andrea Dworkin, Right-Wing Women
