Michelle Obama
“failure is a feeling long before it’s an actual result.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Farah Jasmine Griffin
“In religious terms, each time the oppressed chooses to forgive the oppressor, each time, on those rare occasions, they find themselves having a modicum of power over them and offering them mercy instead of vengeance, might be interpreted as an act of mercy in favor of the oppressor. Black history is replete with these instances.”
Farah Jasmine Griffin, Read Until You Understand: The Profound Wisdom of Black Life and Literature

Libba Bray
“We are a country built by immigrants, dreams, daring, and opportunity. We are a country built by the horrors of slavery and genocide, the injustice of racism and exclusion. These realities exist side by side. It is our past and our present. The future is unwritten. This is a book about ghosts. For we live in a haunted house.”
Libba Bray, Before the Devil Breaks You

Michelle Obama
“If you don’t get out there and define yourself, you’ll be quickly and inaccurately defined by others.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Elizabeth Acevedo
“Late into the night I write and the pages of my notebook swell from all the words I’ve pressed onto them.
It almost feels like the more I bruise the page the quicker something inside me heals.”
Elizabeth Acevedo, The Poet X
