Hanif Abdurraqib
“I know that I stopped thinking about extreme grief as the sole vehicle for great art when the grief started to take people with it. And I get it. The tortured artist is the artist that gets remembered for all time, particularly if they if they either perish or overcome. But the truth is that so many of us are stuck in the middle. So many of us begin tortured and end tortured, with only brief bursts of light in between, and I'd rather have average art and survival than miracles that come at the cost of someone's life.”
Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib, They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us

Judith Butler
“Possibility is not a luxury; it is as crucial as bread.”
Judith Butler, Undoing Gender

Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
“Love is just a four letter word! (laughter) Because that’s what it is for me! I don’t know what it means... I mean, love didn’t work, whatever the hell that is, in my life. Alone I am. I’m not particularly into self-love either. I’m quite prepared to die. And all the objects of my love slowly trail off.”
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak

Hanif Abdurraqib
“A person is a whole person when they are good sometimes but not always, and loved by someone regardless.”
Hanif Abdurraqib, They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us

Hanif Abdurraqib
“History, both the arm holding down the drowning body and the voice claiming the water is holy.”
Hanif Abdurraqib, A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance
