“If you are a man, if you have hurt a woman, and you most definitely have, I want you to lean in very closely and listen very carefully to the following words: You can never be free. Apology is not enough. Healing is not enough. Time is not enough. What you can do is never enough because what you have done is bigger than you will ever be. The closest you may come is to turn yourself over and over and over again to the honest, divine, and wholly annihilating practice of love.”
― Carvell Wallace, Another Word for Love: A Memoir

“I wanted to be in a room of people whose liberation had taken them through that hell and who knew what it cost to be free and for whom that cost was not a choice or an option. I wanted to be with people who could not be alive unless they were free, not people who could be fine with a convenient amount of liberation because the world still generally worked for them no matter how many fucked-up systems were in place for everyone else.”
