Claudia Rankine
“Charlotte: Racism exists outside of reason. Black people have never been human.
Charles: That is so hopeless.
Charlotte: Go further into that hopelessness, and then we can really begin to see each other.”
Claudia Rankine, The White Card: A Play

David Rakoff
“What remains of your past if you didn't allow yourself to feel it when it happened? If you don't have your experiences in the moment, if you gloss them over with jokes or zoom past them, you end up with curiously dispassionate memories.”
David Rakoff, Fraud

C.S. Lewis
“I think I am beginning to understand why grief feels like suspense. It comes from the frustration of so many impulses that had become habitual. Thought after thought feeling after feeling, action after action, had H. for their object. Now their target is gone. I keep on through habit fitting an harrow to the string, then I remember and have to lay the bow down. So many roads lead thought to H. I set out on one of them. But now there's an impassable frontierpost across it. So many roads once; now so many culs de sac.”
C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

Audre Lorde
“Wherever the bird with no feet flew, she found trees with no limbs.”
Audre Lorde

James Baldwin
“I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do.”
James Baldwin
