“The insight of polytheism is conducive to far-reaching religious tolerance. Since polytheists believe, on the one hand, in one supreme and completely disinterested power, and on the other hand in many partial and biased powers, there is no difficulty for the devotees of one god to accept the existence and efficacy of other gods. Polytheism is inherently open-minded, and rarely persecutes ‘heretics’ and ‘infidels’.”

“Books saved my sanity, knowledge opened the locked places in me and taught me first how to survive and then how to soar.”

“When we identify where our privilege intersects with somebody else's oppression, we'll find our opportunities to make real change.”

“I'll find a day to massacre them all
And raze their faction and their family,
The cruel father and his traitorous sons,
To whom I sued for my dear son's life,
And make them know what 'tis to let a queen
Kneel in the streets and beg for grace in vain.”
― William Shakespeare, Titus Andronicus
