E.M. Forster
“Society is invincible—to a certain degree. But your real life is your own, and nothing can touch it. There is no power on earth that can prevent your criticizing and despising mediocrity—nothing that can stop you retreating into splendour and beauty—into the thoughts and beliefs that make the real life—the real you.”
E M Forster, Where Angels Fear to Tread

Elizabeth von Arnim
“Submission to what people call their "lot" is simply ignoble. If your lot makes you cry and be wretched, get rid of it and take another; strike out for yourself; don't listen to the shrieks of your relations, to their gibes or their entreaties; don't let your own microscopic set prescribe your goings-out and comings-in; don't be afraid of public opinion in the shape of the neighbor in the next house, when all the world is before you new and shining, and everything is possible, if you will only be energetic and independent and seize the opportunity by the scruff of the neck.”
Elizabeth von Arnim, Elizabeth and Her German Garden

Virgil
“Roman, remember by your strength to rule Earth’s peoples – for your arts are to be these: To pacify, to impose the rule of law, To spare the conquered, battle down the proud.”
Virgil, The Aeneid

Audre Lorde
“Although of course being incorrect is always the hardest, but even that is becoming less important. The world will not stop if I make a mistake.”
Audre Lorde, The Cancer Journals
