Quotes by Eli Clare  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Laugh and cry and tell stories. Sad stories about bodies stolen, bodies no longer here. Enraging stories about the false images, devastating lies, untold violence. Bold, brash stories about reclaiming our bodies and changing the world.”
Eli Clare, Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation

“The body as home, but only if it is understood that bodies are never singular, but rather haunted, strengthened, underscored by countless other bodies.”
Eli Clare, Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation

“I want to sharpen my pride on what strengthens me, my witness on what haunts me. Whatever we name ourselves, however we end up shattering our self-hatred, shame, silence, and isolation, the goal is the same: to end our daily material oppression.”
Eli Clare, Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation
