Unfortunately,
it will take a global cataclysm

Crayola shades
& accept that
we all bleed red.

"In politics, all abstract terms conceal treachery."

~ C.L.R. James,

The Black Jacobins

"I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute."

- Dame Rebecca West

"Fill your life with women that empower you, that help you believe in your magic and aid them to believe in their own exceptional power and their incredible magic, too. Women that believe in each other can survive anything. Women who believe in each other create armies that will win kingdoms and wars."

- Nikita Gill

"If you're always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be."

- Maya Angelou

"The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity."

- Amelia Earhart

"To live is to find out for yourself what is true, and you can do this only when there is freedom, when there is continuous revolution inwardly, within yourself."

- Krishnamurti

"We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced."

~ Malala Yousafzai

"In our time, there are still many, like those in the Good Samaritan story, who being of the religious classes in that time, purposely crossed to the other side of the road, and passed by the injured and bleeding."

~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."

- Chief Seattle

"Some women get erased a little at a time, some all at once. Some reappear. Every woman who appears wrestles with the forces that would have her disappear. She struggles with the forces that would tell her story for her, or write her out of the story, the genealogy, the rights of man, the rule of law. The ability to tell your own story in words or images is already a victory, a revolt."

- Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me

"The greatest danger to our future is apathy."

- Jane Goodall

"I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we were taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't."

- Audre Lorde

"It looked like a night of dark intent was coming, and not only a night, an age. Someone had better be prepared for rage. There would be more than ocean-water spoken before God's last 'Put Out the Light!' was spoken."

~ Robert Frost.

"I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves."

~ Mary Shelly

"If there is anybody in this land who thoroughly believes that the meek shall inherit the earth, they have not often let their presence be known."

~ William E. B. Du Bois

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

- Isaac Asimov

"There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."

~ John Adams
