Audre Lorde
“I learned so much from listening to people. And all I knew was, the only thing I had was honesty and openness.”
Audre Lorde

Hanya Yanagihara
“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Audre Lorde
“We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit.”
Audre Lorde

Hanya Yanagihara
“He now viewed a successful relationship as one in which both people had recognized the best of what the other person had to offer and had chosen to value it as well.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Joanna Russ
“Scholars don't usually sit gasping and sobbing in corners of the library stacks.
But they should. They should.”
Joanna Russ, On Strike Against God
