[Lydia X. Z. Brown]

“‘No’
might make them angry.
but
it will make you free.
― if no one has ever told you, your freedom is more important than their
anger”
― Nayyirah Waheed

“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I
can hear her breathing.”
― Arundhati Roy

“Life is short and the world
is at least half terrible, and for every kind
stranger, there is one who would break you,
though I keep this from my children. I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.”
― Maggie Smith
