“Always in your stomach and in your skin there was a sort of protest, a feeling that you had been cheated of something you had a right to.”
― George Orwell

“Everyone deserved to live freely and in honor of themselves. A basic right should not be a luxury.”

“A human being can only take so much when their basic rights as a citizen of the earth are being denied to them – or sold at a high cost.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Being a supporter of feminism means becoming aware of your privilege and trying to break it down every day. It's not "trendy." It's actually a really basic thing, and highly political.

― Bobika, Le coeur des Zobs
