Florence Given
“But remember that anyone who tells you you’re “too” anything is using the word because they are threatened by your capacity to grow, evolve and express your emotions.”
Florence Given, Women Don't Owe You Pretty

Angie Thomas
“You gotta love people enough to let them go, especially when you're the reason they're gone.”
Angie Thomas, Concrete Rose

Victoria Schwab
“Blink and you’re twenty-eight, and everyone else is now a mile down the road, and you’re still trying to find it, and the irony is hardly lost on you that in wanting to live, to learn, to find yourself, you’ve gotten lost.”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Florence Given
“Choosing yourself will always disappoint some people. The sooner we accept this and make peace with it, the better.”
Florence Given, Women Don't Owe You Pretty

Brittney Morris
“I want you to imagine for a minute,” she begins. “I know it’s going to be hard for both of you, but just imagine—that literally nothing was made for you. Your parents were denied a house because of their skin color, your grandparents were sprayed with fire hoses and ripped apart by dogs in the streets, your great-grandparents were housemaids and mammies and barely paid entertainers, and your great-great-grandparents were slaves. Every movie in your life is majority Black, all the characters in your favorite books have been cast darker in the movie adaptation for no reason, and every mistake you make is because of your skin color and because of “your background” and because of the music you listen to. You are the only white kids at a school of five hundred Blacks, and every Black person at that school asks you to weigh in on what it’s like to be white, or what white people think about this or that. It’s not fun.”
Brittney Morris, Slay
