“There has been no other movement for social justice in our society that has been as self-critical as feminist movement. Feminist willingness to change direction when needed has been a major source of strength and vitality in feminist struggle. That internal critique is essential to any politics of transformation.

Losing the scriptures in the thick fog of my practice,
I stumbled on second sight.”
― Lalla, I, Lalla: The Poems of Lal Dĕd

“Try to understand this rightly. When the powerful renounce, they let go of things that they feel to be worthless, of no value. The weak also renounce, but they renounce whatsoever they feel to be more powerful than themselves.
