Quotes by Lauren Wilkinson

“The first few moments after you meet someone are precious, because the data on them is plentiful and your own subjectivity has yet to interfere.”
― Lauren Wilkinson, American Spy

“Thomas Sankara renamed the country Burkina Faso—the Land of Incorruptible People—and wrote the national anthem.”
― Lauren Wilkinson, American Spy

“After I heard, I switched the radio to music and turned it up as load as it would go and let myself cry...You've likely never seen me like that. Almost no one has. It has never earned me anything to share my darker self with other people. The only anger I ever expose to the world is through implication, by suggesting that I'm on the brink of no longer being able to contain my fury. That is what a woman's strength looks like when it's palatable: like she is containing herself.”
― Lauren Wilkinson, American Spy
