Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

Jokha Alharthi
“The feet walk fast for the loving heart’s sake, but when you feel no longing, your feet drag and ache”
Jokha Alharthi, Celestial Bodies

“When you expose a problem you pose a problem. It might then be assumed that the problem would go away if you would just stop talking about or if you went away.”
Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“This is really why I made my daughters learn to garden—so they would always have a mother to love them, long after I am gone.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

Roxane Gay
“Everything I know about my family’s history, I know in fragments. We are the keepers of secrets. We are secrets ourselves. We try to protect each other from the geography of so much sorrow. I don’t know that we succeed.”
Roxane Gay, Ayiti
